I bought mine new and I told myself I'd just do exhaust. Now I have full bolt-ons, full suspension, rims and am pulling the trigger on a H/C package this month.

How much did ya pay? I have 17k on mine so I'm curious to see what there going for now.
I agree, best color there is! And it is a shame you don't see them more on the street.

Minooka eh? I used to live there. Neighborhood behind Peak Fitness. Small world.

I got mine for 19k w/ 19k miles. I just broke 21500 on the beast. I'm planning on exhaust, suspension, brakes, 4.10 gears, & rims. I want to keep it simple so I can change it back to stock if I ever want too.

No way....Prairie Ridge? That's where I live, over by the park. Been here 5 years.

I never wanted to crack the engine but I said **** it. I'll keep all the stock parts as I have been doing since I bought it and can always put them back in. I figure all these guys do it on Barrett Jackson and it doesn't hurt the value.

Here's what mine looks like if you ever saw me driving it or went to the Morris car shows. I didn't take it out much though.

Nice TA!

Yeah, you live right around the corner from me. And as for the upgrades; I'm keeping all the stock parts as well so I can keep the value of the car.

Skip the boltons!! Slap a procharger on it, bolts in without any modification, easy 100+HP and you can keep everything bone stock. If for any reason you want to go back to stock, pull it out and sell for barely any loss. I started just like you, 20k mile bone stock ws6, thought I would just do bolt-ons and/or mods that can be put back to stock. Now I've spent $6k in it and it isn't much faster thanks to that stupid way of thinking and worrying about keeping it stock. Right now I wish I wouldve just spent it on FI and called it a day when I first bought the car!

Not my cup of tea. I actually enjoy working with the bolt-ons. That's one of the reasons I got the TA. Blowers, NOS, chargers, etc., not for me. But hey, if you enjoy it, more power to ya.

Here are the final pictures....

Sworo, do you know where your wife got those LOTB badges? I've been looking for a set myself.

Well, after a long deployment & a new born baby girl I will be home very soon. Can't wait to get home to see my family and get to work and drive on my WS6. I will update my journal as to what I had done before I deployed and what I will have done when I get home. All in due time of course!
