Default Newbie - sorry not a girl LOL

Just a note to introduce myself. Your message board comes highly recommended by everyone I have talked to. My name is Casey and I live in Columbus, OH. This is my 4th F-body. I tried to stray away and by a decent, respectable, mature car - it lasted 12 months. I have just started "upgrading" the car. I want to "personalize" it but not get too crazy - I like it pretty much just the way it is. My next mod is a lid and filter - from there I will need some advice I am sure. It is my everyday driver - unfortunately - rain and snow included.

Curious... what XM receiver do you have? Is it built in to the head-unit, or do you have the Sky-Fi? Can you post a pic of where you have it mounted?

I went with the XM Commander -- it is smaller, and not detachable, it stays inthe car. I mounted it right above the stereo headunit, right below the air vents. The problem is that it lights up blue. I am gonna take it to my buddies at Circuit City, and see if they can detach the face and soder some red LEDs in there instead to match.

I got the Ski-fy so I could take it with me. They mounted it just to the right of the receiver - looks pretty good. Lights up orangish-red - kind of blends in with the interior. Itr is something I didn't need but has ended up being one of my most prized possessions! My batteries are dead in my camera - I will post a photo soon.

WELCOME

the only bad thing about not being a girl is that you won't get a 1,000 replies in this thread.

Welcome to the site. I just bought my first fbody, and am trying to keep from modding it too much. Doubt that will happen.

Welcome If you don't mod it now you will later. I took a few years break on mine and the mod bug bit me a few weeks ago and I ended up getting Kook's LTs. Now I am craving suspension.

Welcome man! Nice looking car, for sure.

Any chance you could make your sig pic smaller? We have
a 500x150 pixel limit on sig pics, and yours is over 200 pixels
tall. Thanks
