Default MOD Plan

Well I have been putting on MODS here and there and finally laid out a plan of what and when I am doing it (I wish I was this detailed at work). I guess the order is as good as any. My only concern is what am I going to do after this list is complete.

1. Install GHLs and Z06 rear sway bar - winter 05 (did rear last weekend)

2. Paint Calipers - winter 05

3. Paint Hood Liner - winter 05

4. Install Window Valet -winter 05

5. Final Oil consumption test and hopefully ReRing - Spring 05

6. Long Tube Headers and X-Pipe - Spring 05

7. New Gears (4.10s) and Harden Shaft - Winter 06

8. Shocks - Winter 06

9. ??? - Spring 06 (maybe wheels and tires)

I can see a H/C package in your future. BTW. I plan on getting rid of my 4X4 look in the Spring. Can you assist? I will bring lots of beers over. Unopen this time.

Nice list of mods you have going there. Don't worry, there's plenty more to do after recovering from these.
