All small stuff just to personalize the car and add to my enjoyment.
First mod (if you can call it that) was installation of my XM Roady II satellite receiver. It was quickly followed by a Window Valet (as previously stated, a "must" for a convertible), flush mounting the taillights, a double Travel Buddy cup holder (another "must" IMO), transfer of my vanity tags from my previous car, a Diablosport Predator tuner (to turn off CAGS, reprogram fan temps, adjust LTFTs in addition to installation of the tune), and addition of a small enameled USMC emblem centered at the bottom of the back window.

First was removing the stops from the shocks for the Magnetic Suspension (you know so the car has the ability to exercise wheel travel) (free).
Then the shifter ****,......hated the stock one it was so soft, cheap and ugly ($50).........the shifter is next ($300).

My first mod was crossed flag valve stem caps. Last mod was Dynatech LT headers and an Elite Engineering tunnel plate. In between was a list as long as your arm.

I guess the first mod was painting the calipers in anticipation of the second mod...new wheels. New wheels are the best bang for the buck. My third mod would have been a new exhaust but I already had a set of Magnaflows on the car when I bought it, so I started re-doing the interior, new seats/foam, new console cover, new mats, dd radio, etc.
I still have a few things left in the interior I want to do. I have no desire/compulsion to do
any exterior mods or engine mods. On the exterior, the only thing that I think would improve the looks would be a subtle ACI bottom front spoiler and the side rear brake ducts.
