Default new mods

just wondering what's up next on everyone's mod list and what have you done lately.
Also, what has been your least favorite mod so far?

nice gauges. i'm always into sweet looking, quickproteges. mine's a 2002 pro5. it's got a handful of mods on it;
dvd w/headliner screen
injen intake w/ported & polished manifold
awr 88 duro front and rear motor mounts
exhaust tip
cat delete
short throw shifter

it's not quite as far as i want to take it but it is still young. hoping to rebuild the motor by the end of the year to get ready for turbo. those gauges look bad ***, been considering either those or a set of brushed aluminum.

you gotta expect to have to upfit aftermarket parts like that. we put a set of fiberglass z3 fenders on my friends car and it took us almost the whole day, a couple of drill bits, and a few trips to the hardware store for dremel accessoriesto get all of the holes to line up to the stock ones. looks good now though. just a matter of patience.
