Just thought I'd see if anyone else is spending insane amounts of cash before SZ rolls around to upgrade or finish projects. I figure I'm in for $1000 or more so far in doing odds and ends before Spring Sing rolls around and I don't know that I'll be done even when that time gets here.

Fortunately my car is "almost" aesthetically finished(Still debating which hood I am going with). I've spent a little here and there, but nothing worth taking a 2nd mortgage out for . Just need to do some detail work(paint calipers, install the updated camber plates from Thinkmoto, and do a full in/out detail of the car.. I think I'm more worried about SZ06 than I am now! Mark

Nothing really big as of lately. I made sure I had everythign in hand before SZ. About the biggest mod as of lately is the new front fascia and repainted splitter.  Maybe a $300 tops.
