Lets see, what are my plans? Oh, I know: I WANT TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!! HAHAHA!!!! :lol: J/K, but for real here we go

 

 

New exhaust tips(here's what they look like): http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/Product/tf-VehicleBrowse/s-10101/Pr-p_Product.CATENTRY_ID:2006284/p-2006284/N-111+1996+200729113+600001736/c-10101

 

I think they look pretty kool. I like the silent nature of the stock tip but I think these would do my car a little more justice as far as looks go. Might add a little sound to. I'm not looking for nothing too extravegant. And they're not too awefully expensive.

 

Remote Starter

 

Really good car wash

 

And clean the living hell out of the interior. it's not bad, I just want it spotless.

My plans for 2008, the ones i have already completed and the ones i'm waiting to do...

 

 

1. Fix hail damage. Done- Had all the hail damage removed but this was to no avail since i got hit by a runaway shopping cart 3 days later and my car shot itself under the hood (read "My car tried to shoot itself" in the powertrain section.

 

2. Fix saggy suspension. Done- had the fronts and rears replaced, which almost removed the sag, the rest i blame on stuff in the trunk.

 

3. Get a new sound system (nothing too fancy). Done- Clarion headunit with pioneer 4x6s and JVC 6x9s with a 400watt MTX amp with two MTX 10s in their own ported box.

 

4. Fix horrible dent in the right rear. Still saving the $$$ to get this done. Will cost in excess of $1,000 to just get dent properly fixed.

 

5. Get new hood thanks to attempted auto suicide.

 

6. Get entire car professionally repainted some awesome color.

 

7. Get new wheels preferrably 18s with some nice tires.

 

8. And finally... have a better shop re route the exhaust so that exhaust comes out of both pipes, not just the right side.

If you can, try and get your hood fixed first. The aftermarket hoods dont line up like the one you have on there now. I found this out when I bought my new hood.

 

Alright, thanks for the info. I was going to see what they were going to charge to try and fix it and compare that to a new hood.

What about the foglight?

 

Oh yeah that to, but If i'm doin the foglight I'm just gonna replace the two of them because I'm kind of anal when it comes to things like that. When it comes to foglights, brakes, struts, etc..... If one needs replaced it's best to do the other one. My reasoning for that is number one: uniformity, and Number two: I don't want one bright(new) foglight and one dim(old) foglight, I think that would look shitty.

I got a new hood for $240 + paying for paint and the guy to paint it. I can post pics where you can see where it doesnt line up in one spot. But if you can fix your hood for a decent cost... go that route.

Motor mounts are going to be a necessity, they were supposed to be replaced but the rubber is decomposing at the bottom of the car...

 

Figure out what the hell keeps giving me problems in my front end and FIX IT!!! should be the last FE fix for a long time. Hopefully.

 

If this job holds out and I do well, going to finish out the wheels and get the car painted.

 

Oh yeah, and keep the stubborn bitch on the road. Thats the big one, driveability and safety for my precious Pontiac. :lol:

If cleaning is a modification or fixing, then that.

 

Oh, new tires. And put my new box in my trunk. Maybe I will finally have the front bumper fixed from the previous owner.

 

I kept to mine! And, I said maybe on the front bumper, so I'm good.

Last year at this time, I didn't even post. But I can honestly say that in the last year I have done absolutely nothing to any of my W's. Just drive them and fix them as needed.

 

I focused on the Laguna last fall/winter/summer/fall. lol
