My first mod was supposed to be the license plate . But all my options were taken .
"Sababa"
"Uva" <- family business (nightclub) www.uvanights.com
and I forgot what else . Too many damn people in Florida .
I had my car on 20's for a while . Wheels are a mod or no ? Anyhow , they are for sale cause I'm putting it all in the engine .
Buy them .
http://miami.craigslist.org/pts/233748494.html
I am ordering my AEM cold air and DC Sport Headers tomorrow .
And I'm getting tints as soon as my car comes back from the dealership .
Springs as soon as I decide which ones .
Painting my emblems , door handles , and anything not black ,and debadging as soon as I find out the best way to paint .
Oh and I'm powder coating my rims black .
So depending when I get my car decides which mods come first .
All before december though . (:

First mod was buying the car. It came with some mods. First mod I purchased was an Icebox to replace the AEM I had. And then were headers.
