Making a Christmas List....

Making a Christmas List....
Hello everyone. Well my car is soooo close to being paid off. With that in mind, i cant mod until its paid off. However i am able to get some minor appearance/interior stuff for x-mas. I am totally stumped on anything else i can get. I already have rims,lowered,overlays,tint,smoked sidemarkers/third brake light,ram air hood. I think my Exterior is about maxxed out. Any suggestions for it that i am missing? For the interior, all i have is white face gauge, and some CF trim pieces. I have so far on my list some of those headrest decals of a bird in red that im going to try out and see if i like the look, if it fits well im going to get the nice embroidered ones and ditch the decals. Anyone use those smoothlocks? I saw them.... pieces that cover up your doorlocks, may look nice/clean, i dunno. Any other suggestions for soemthing i can do to interior maybe that wont cost a lot for x-mas? I dont want to paint anything.... suggestions? thanks!

I saw the keyhole covers on a few cars at the Hot rod power tour and it looked alright. i wouln't do it to my car. I did see shaved handles and locks. that looked good. Check out afterthoughts auto for some ideas or thunder racing and the MBA products. Some nice loyds custom mats would be nice.

Dont forget the engine bay apperance. You could polish everything, get fuel rail covers or buy some Mobil 1 oil cap and decals or a battery cover. Just a few more easy ideas. Get a color matched strut tower brace or do the !wire mod. Personally, I am waiting for after xmas to get a stb and a polished oil dipstick. Anything that is color in the engine bay you could replace or repaint. It wouldn't cost all that much.

Ok yea... well i already have a $150 list of zaino products on my list, haha. Im a zaino freak! I was just thinking that also. In my engine bay i have that ugly Suncoast Ram Air that i made a thread on in Ext Forum to see if a normal lid would work, i also have a red hotchkis STB, Red top battery and vette FRC's. I was thinking of getting my FRCs painted, maybe a new lid and paint that to match. Then wait for my LS6 intake then paint that to match also. I also want to get all my wires in red and polish some stuff up. Thanks for the ideas. Now a good place to get my stuff painted or person for a reasonable price? Also ideas on paint scheme? I was thinking black/red?

Ok soo i mthinking of ideas to do for my engine bay. I definately want to get my FRCs and LS6 intake painted when i get it..... Also a lid, hopefully i can swap out my ugly Suncoast box for a clear or black lid i can paint or leave clear...... I am trying to decide on a good color scheme to go with for the paint and what type of design. I was thinking of maybe getting the FRC's in Black with Trans Am 5.7L in red on them, paint the intake Red and paint the lid black with a Red Bird on it, than get soemr ed wire covers and bling some stuff up.... Any other ideas? Heres what it looks like now..

Have you got a good polisher and real towels? Until you've used the good stuff (don't get me wrong, Zaino is excellent, but I'm talking about true polishes), you don't know just how good your car can look.
I really should get Porter Cable to start paying me for endorsements...

No, no polishers for me, i jsut use Zaino and am very happy with it, not sure if i want to get into using machines, i like the ease of zaino and the magnificent results. I am going to do the headrests and am looking for ideas of underhood stuff. DetroitMuscle, are you a member of SLP or any other groups? Maybe we'll have to get together next summer and cruise Gratiot and hit up Milan or somethin. Keep in touch.

Dark Red Blackbird stripes and overlays to match would be bad *** and sleak IMO. I know you've already got overlays, but if you want to be subtle, nothing beats a deep, dark red on black.

Yea, i think for my underhood theme...... if i can by chance switch my suncoast set up to a lid without sacrificing power im going to paint my lid, intake and FRC's all black, then on the lid paint a red Bird, Trans Am on the FRCs and maybe jsut leave the intake or think of a design for that. Yea, for winter mods, not sure if ill be able to get to them without much for a winter job but im hoping on full exhaust and a stall so we'll see. I decided i like my overlays and am pretty sure i want to stick with them but what about blackbird stripes? Too much for my look? Thanks!
