Default Time to list! any help is welcome :)

I guess its time for me to get serious about modding here. i'm looking towards summer and i have planning to do! i want to have most of this stuff done this year, but i know it wont be that way. let me know if you have any ideas here, most of this stuff is not in any order.

Under hood: new plugs, wires, p-steering pump, new intake lid(smooth bellow ect.), fix leak issues(oil, trans), longtubes, eletric cutouts, egr delete, redo my PCV system, new battery, new alt.

Wet Nitrous kit: inluding all the goodies, bottle warmer, switch panel, remote opener, wot switch, fpss, window switch.

Gauges: water, nitrous, a/f ratio, oil psi, maby tranny temp.

Suspension: new shocks and springs all around(want to keep stock height), sfc's, something to control wheel hop and help put the power down!

Exterior: tints, halo headlights, clear corners, HID fogs, repaint brake calipers, maby debadge sides?, billet grille

Interior: guage overlays, blue leds for all lights, new carpet, new door panels, new window motor, new front seats, rear seat delete

Sounds: 2 12" woofers(already have enclosure), new speakers all around, 2 custom mounted tweeters, amp, wires, cap, head unit.

FUTURE!

c5 18" rims, trans rebuild with 3200 stall, trans brake, shift kit, overhaul motor, H/C combo, fully new rearend,

VERY VERY FUTURE! turbo.

Thanks for reading, any advise or suggestions on specific parts is very welcome
