So, the year is coming to an end and it's time to start getting ready to park my baby and cover her up for the snowy season. Now begins the wait until the next "modding season" next spring. My car has gone through quite a bit of changes this year, but it's far from being where I want it.

What have you done to your car this year and what's on your shopping list for next spring/summer? I think it would be nice to see how far everyone has come this year and what their future plans are =)

I'll list some stuff here to get the ball rolling and hopefully we'll get some inputs . Please just list the things you've done this year!

Things I've done this year:
-PAINT JOB! Glacier Frost Mica @ TNT Autobody.
-Inven Front Bumper
-Impul Sides
-Nismo CF Diffuser
-Varrstoens

Plans for next year
- Engine bay overhaul - (got my hands on some hose wraps and Pi-Thon locks), full engine bay polish, wire tuck.
- MD ART pipes + exhaust
- UpRev Osiris Tune
- Coilovers
- BBK
- Misc suspension stuff (swaybars, strut bar, etc)

Best vacation to date in my life, thanks again ro Marcus, Chris, Tim and everyone else that was a part of my journey for making me an official part of the family. I'd thank each individually but I don't think there's enough room in these posts to do so.
