I have a friend who has a dirt yard and we have been dragging rugs under his old cars for years to lay on. There are the dirty rugs that are used for dirty jobs like a tranny swap, and the 'sunday rug' for clean jobs!

I was actually being a little lazy and didn't haul out the vacuum from inside the house. Not to worry, the rug made no contact with the car. I also wore surgical shoe guards to keep the carpets clean (nah, not really.) Man, a black interior sure gets diiiiiiiiiirty real easy!

I had the CLB and CAGS in hand before I had my car! I was ready. I had my 1st mod installed within 30 minutes of taking possesion, leather door pull wraps. Since then (only 3 months ago) I've made 26 more mods and removed two. Did one last night in fact; SS debris screen from Valaya. Got another one coming tomorrow, a Donaldson Blackwing. I don't see an end in sight. Heck I don't even have the hood seal yet!

I didn't do the CLB until I was ready to swap in a Hurst shifter. I thought it would be easier to only have to remove the dash components and center console once.

I hope you have a large bank account; the mods don't seem to end.
