Thanks to you all!

Happy Thanksgiving to all. I appreciate the help on here, and have tried to help when I can, although I have nowhere near the knowledge!

So far, on my 2014: Redid interior trim and headliner in black (photos in here somewhere), cleaned up wiring and installed all my ham radios and antennas, new front struts and bushings (had dealer do it, so ugh, same crappy parts), had a MIL/CEL light due to some bad vacuum hoses which actually triggered an O2 sensor code. Again dealer found this one before I started wrenching! Re-powder coated some steelies for the summer tires, they look shiny! Have the original steelies for the snow tires. Found the USB cord for the iPod, nice. Full legal tint on sides and rear glass.

Plans: Really want to do the DOD delete, full Kooks exhaust and a mild cam that keeps the stock converter. Hoping to find a place within a few hours of CT to do it, but seems like all the good shops are way south! I could muddle through it, but I think I want it done by someone else, I don't have the driveway or garage space to deal with it. (my son and his crazy 5 old BMW leave enough crap around here!). I would like to do the SS springs too. Maybe try and uncover the rear speakers, I hear them in there. But I am not a big music nut, so the basic speakers are ok so far.

And of course, I have the cool coffee mug. Cheers!

Happy Thanksgiving to you all too.
Looks like you got a lot done. Me too, just got 4 more steelies and snow tires. We need them up here in the northeast already.
Pics?

Man I am digging that black interior... with tinted windows must feel like a movie theater.

Looks really good and cleanly done. An equipment console really finishes the center section nicely! I have a Jotto desk Caprice specific console that I need to install with goodies. My daughter turned 6 months yesterday so just need to find a day with enough time and commit to it. Very nice ride..
