^^wow Im jealous of these extensive mods im seeing.. twin turbo yeah. Oh well I can just say Ive worked on getting this car paid off instead of expensive mods.. I have just detailed my paint this year (polish + wax). Thats all besides a clutch pedal adjustment. I did get a chance to autocross the car a handful of times and take it to the track twice. But for 2012 Im looking into chassis bracing and possibly exhaust. Oh yeah and new door speakers.

After owning/modding SLICK since early '04 my list of mods from 2K11 is short:
Autometer Cobalt blue Oil pressure/Volt gauges mounted in my A-Piller and painted to match headliner.
New KJ aluminum burnt shift **** that matches my HKS exhaust tips and black leather shift boot. Installed LEDs in my doors and license plate...super white has slight blue tint.
Next Year...Having my KurumaZ front bumper repainted (right this time) along with having SLICK totally color sanded.
