Adding that to the backseat

And wrapping my car with this



Nothing like Fo-Sache!


No for real though, probably work on suspension, mostly. Maybe some Torq Thrust M's from Tomzwheels, Sonoco hood, and a few little things here and there.

I will be doing the engine bay detailing. Looks like crap compared to outside. Will probably upgrade my speakers as they suck!! That should keep me busy. Car stays in garage, but it is a daily driver except during rain and snow.

saving money so i can finish **** i started! i have nothing right now. I have a LQ9 block sitting in my garage back home in orlando. An interior that is 3/4 finished, a piece of crap head unit that needs to be replaced and can't decide if I just want a double din dvd touchscreen head unit or a CarPC. And a ton of suspension crap I want to do! Main objective right now is the interior to be finished. Then suspension. Then LQ9/LS2!

Yes sir it will be, and to be honest I'm still up in the air as to whether I'm going to do it or not. But if I do, and I get yanked to the shoulder for it, I'm going to play the ignorance card.

I'm going to re-register my car in NV (claimed state of residence), and hope that even though front windshield tinting is likely to be illegal there as well, they won't assume such.

The Mountain Home police usually leave vehicles registered out of state alone, even though the out-of-state vehicles sometimes have front plate laws and tinting laws that are just as strict as Idaho's. Reason being is that they don't know the other states' laws.

Pretty stupid, I know. But I do what I want.
