The only "mods" I want to do are cosmetic... touch up paint on rear bumper, remove the crappy DIY tint job (don't have time or money right now to have a professional tint job done), Knauberize, and give it a good detailing inside and out. I really doubt I will get that all done (if any). My wife won't let me spend any time on my car. She doesn't mind me going to SZ, but since I am going, and since I am going to an AutoX tomorrow, I need to maximize my "quality time" with the kids.
I was able to do some "piece of mind" mods. I put in my metal water pump last Saturday and got my failing alternator replaced under warranty. At least I won't have to worry about those 2 things giving me a problem. I would like to do some scheduled maintenance before the trip, but it's not life or death.
