I'm planning on getting my exhaust reworked, removing the resonators and getting it to bolt up to my down pipe. Finally getting the body kit painted, and taking a trip to see Vince at R/T Tuning to get my car tuned.

I think thats it unless I can work out some kind of sponsorship.

You are going to be a busy man once you get the G out!

You have already been busy and I am sure you will be doing lots of finishing touches

My plans are to do instals of the parts I have had laying around since last season

- I still need to instal my nav bypass and rear view camera from bdl99 @ thecarkitcompany

- I have hood struts coming from kellyefields this week

- I am waiting on a response from CFE so I can place an order on a few interior trim CF pieces

- I plan on ordering takeda CAI with tax return

- Buying probably just tires for now (PSS), thinking I will wait on getting the wheels until I can afford to get some really sick ones! I would rather just do it once then buy now only to replace them again in 1-2 years

- I am also trying to get a GTA group buy for oil coolers going

All the parts are starting to arrive. I now have a cabin filter, front lip and front camber shims. SPL toe arms are coming in on Friday. Swaybay and catback are soon to arrive also.

Your nav bypass nod shouldn't take long. It's fairly easy to remove the center console.

the bypass and the camera shouldn't be to hard. I have opened up the center console once before with no issues. I am thinking that while I do the camera instal I will do some sound deadening while I have everything opened up in the back, I have wanted to do that for a while now.

Yes that is a possibility. FWIW I'm only running a 19 row with boost.

Really I have never heard of this, then again I never looked into it

When I had my z32 I installed a 34 row and had no issues mind you I only drove it on super nice days (hot in other words lol)

Yeah in the spring an fall you might need to make a block-off plate depending on the size of the oil cooler, shouldn't be an issue for us in the summer. That's based on a 25 row (most popular down south).

You've got some serious patience, I would have had that thing put on a long time ago. I get the itch every day waiting for my car updates.
