Could be very interested in your exhaust depending on price. (I'm a poor school teacher. Have to find deals where I can.)
The Borla cat-back, I mean, and do you know which one it is? Not that beggars can be choosers, and I am not trying to do that!!

By the way, wheels and tires would be interesting too, but I know I can't afford those.

Finally got some time to work on her, here's some small updates:
Installed the oem hood:
I need to adjust the drivers side fender to fix the small gap, it's not too noticeable though.
Installed sound deadening (36 sq ft pack of stinger roadkill), followed the 30% rule but I still have some left over so i'll throw it in later.
I also deadened the doors, but it's hard to get a pic of them. My cd player, amp wiring kit and dash kit should be here later today. Black carpet should be here next week.

still have to cut the holes for the reflector, I might even leave it as is though. I covered the orange sliding lock piece of plastic in my silverado for a cleaner look.

The suede on the door panels looks next level good. Very nice.

Thanks! Each side took about 20 minutes and I didn't have to take the panels apart.

cut each side roughly to shape and tucked the edges into the gap between the panels, then folded the bottom part around the door panel bottom and glued it down while making relief cuts as needed.
the grills are satin black spray paint from walmart
