Good evening guys,

Haven’t bought a single mod on my car since the whipple last October, really been neglecting it. I decided to spend $1,000 on mods and want your guys thoughts on what I should buy for the car. Basically what would you spend the $1000 on? Thought about custom tune or other smaller cosmetic parts/performance parts like BMR suspension stuff etc.

What would I spend the $1000 on you ask? Hmm.. pay on car loan if you have one... Invest it into my IRA.
I mean by the looks of your signature you have already done quite a bit.

Since you have a Whipple.. brakes, suspension and some maintenance (trans, diff, brake fluid changes).

Why be so responsible?

Life passes you by and you didn’t have any fun.

What have you done to the interior? GT350R steering wheel. Real CF trim. That’s a quick $1k.

$1000 gets you full ceramic coating for the terrible paint from a pro. It needs it.

That spot looks familiar. Was it the GC by the Thunderbird Lodge?
That's South Kaibab Trail Head at the South rim (I think). Or it might have been Pipe Creek Vista. We didn't go into the village.

Your sig-line looks as if nothing is needed. It's tuned already, Steeda suspension, wheels, etc.

Not modding it further isn't "neglecting" it.

When is the last time you took it on a road-trip? Some sweet drive out into the country, some cool destination, something fun? What about getting it out and having an enjoyable experience with it? Maybe with a good friend or lady? Some sort of road-tour with cool destinations?

I just got back from Norfolk VA., several hours of driving. It's was pure pleasure, and I got to tour BB-64 USS Wisconsin. THAT is why I own the car, not to dump $$ into it that doesn't provide any fun times.
