What is on your checklist?
In order for my car to make me happy at the moment....
-New hood
-Molded skirts
-Finish projectors (its going down today)
-Custom tails
-Re-wire all leds / cathodes in interior
-Custom gauges
-Get full coverage / plates / new job to fund it
So what does everybody else need / want done to their car (that is actually going to happen)?

My list is going to be pricey. I am happy with the car right now but my plans include:
Turbo-8-10psi to start
6 speed out of a G6, once installed the turbo will prolly go to 13-15psi
OSV bodykit if I can afford one outside the GB
Air Ride (maybe)
I need to start saving monies lol.

Exterior: New Rims or paint current ones, lower car, HID's, muffler tips and painting the pillars between the doors white
Interior: Wood dash, whiteface gauges, if possible wood gauge bezel
Performance: Exhaust with quiet high flow muffler and drilled and slotted rotors
Sound: component speakers all around and what I already got.
Thats it. My plans aren't really that big. The reason for wanting to paint my current rims rather than buy new ones is that this will be my daily driver and I don't want to go to all sorts of places (malls, clubs, Mexico, dances, etc...) with really nice rims.
