Winter Modification Plans

What are your winter mod plans? I plan on getting a JDM navpod with navi/backup cam for my NSX. Then, I think I will be done... on the beater, probably some all weather mats (if that counts as a mod).

Fog, parking and turn signal bulbs suck on our FX35 - Going to get LED's for the parking and turn signal bulbs and get some Yellow H8's for the fogs.
Ipod and bluetooth integration will come shortly after Christmas.

The CL just got an oil change and some new tires...That's all she's getting!

I was thinking of making this same thread....

Mtech kit on the 328i (already half on)
02+ NSX Rear bumper (needs to be painted)
Order new wheels
Comptech Headers for NSX
Source parts for timing belt/waterpump/hoses to be installed in spring.

If the circumstances and price were right, I would love to have a JDM bumper.

I would never spend $1500 + to do a cosmetic mod though.

I'll have to settle for the custom one off full CF front & rear lips I'll be rocking in the spring.

In my winter ride (95 accord) i did 2 infinity perfect 10's, with a power acoustic 1920/2 amp, and line driver. I put them in a bassworx ported box. black and silver. i also put in a JVC double din DVD player with a 6.5 inch screen. I love customizing cars and there was no way i was driving around without a screen and bass all winter. i also put some JBL tweeters in the front doors, flush mounted. I put an old set of panasonic 6X9's in the rear deck as well.

My acura.......... is going in for paint in a few weeks, and im putting a body kit on it aswell. I also wanna do an exhaust system, but ill probly wait till spring. I just wanna be able to say my ac is done(ya right)! Oh and ill probly change my trunk setup. again.(for the 4th time)

-new chain/sprocket set.
-flushing all the fluids to new synthetic
-CBR1000RR Mirrors
-New corbin seat (if i repaint black)
-repaint! either the factory red or going black.

the bike is perfect and everything is strong, just doing maintenance so i know everything is good to go and i don't have any worries

The IS250
-mobile HID fogs - 4300K (spring)
-f-sport springs (spring)
-tint/JDM visors (spring)

i got most of the parts for the bike, especially all of the new seals. only things i don't have is the rotors and pads.

the car, just a few more things to it, will probably have it for another year after the spring.

That makes me feel good Jesal. Damn that was a long time (and many cars ago) for you. The OG TL/CL list is extremely small these days.

Probably will never get rid of the car. Just realized I don't need all the toys anymore. It'll become the weekday car and I'll get a toy for weekend and nice days.

Just installed a UR crank pulley and a Ingalls rear camber kit.

Looking for new wheels and a roof spoiler, maybe a remote starter

How much torque will a pulley add for your TL?
