Well, I think I've decided to leave the Vette as is for the Winter and mess around with my DD.... 02' Mustang GT. Here's my list:

Borla Stingers
UPR O/R X-Pipe
JLT Rai
MGW Short Throw Shifter
Eibach Pro Kit Lowering Springs
FRPP 4.10 Gears
35% tint
and just regular full scale maintenance (all fluids/oil/filters etc)

I figured since I'm planning on working towards a nice H/C/I build for the Vette throughout next year (I'm sure everyone knows that those mods cost a decent penny), I decided to do a little to the car that I'm in everyday to make it more enjoyable. Good lukc to everyone else on their winter projects!

Last winter's interior makeover did me in...I think this year I am going to simply focus on removing scratches on the body and give it a real good shine for next spring.

Well lets see.

Need to do list:

Squeeky belt (Gatorback belt and idler pulley more than likely)
Repaint the passenger mirror
Replace the interior lights w/ leds since the majority of the lights are burned out
Fix the dim HVAC display
Replace and relocate the oil pressure sensor
Clean up the grounds to help get rid of various electical gremlins

The "I hope to have the spare cash/time" list:

Replace my LS1 intake manifold with a Fast manifold (since I'll be in there fixing the oil pressure sensor anyway)
LT headers
Replace the polished cai with either a vararam or a hurricane intake
Finally buy the license and tune the car with my EFI live software thats just lying around collecting dust
Start the extensive audio and sound deadening project

Well if I even accomplish 1 of the optional list this winter I'll be stoked. Haha.
