Default What next?

So far:

Pioneer AVIC-930t Double Din Unit with new amps and speakers.

Ashtray Delete

Clear Side Markers

Custom PORSCHE floor mats in Guards Red

Fister D Exhaust (On waiting list)

I am pretty happy with the cabin. I am considering the Sport Pedal Set from Suncoast. Not into spoilers or aero kits.

Anything else I might be missing?

You've covered the "relatively" inexpensive things. Now it's time to consider the expensive things like wheels and suspension upgrades! How about a custom permanently installed radar/laser detector?

Center third radiator and low temp thermostat. Really brings these cars into the proper operating temperature and will aid longevity.

I don't have any problems with my stock '02's cooling system on the steamiest and hottest of days.

Paint the Ashtray Delete black - no reason to bring attention to it.

Buy "stealth bulbs" all around (front/rear blinkers, and sidemarkers) - chrome painted bulbs that light up amber. Can be found on ebay.

I think a GR center console from BumperPlugs would look great in there to break up the black a little. I found the RoW M030 suspension really improved the ride and height of my cab.

Thanks for all the other suggestions! I am definitely going to address the suspension in another 5k miles when I do tires. I actually like my wheels. I was going to go with black Vector's but changed my mind.

Thanks for the cabin suggestions. I was also thinking GR for the horseshoe/center console but trust me, a little goes a long way with this color. I like the contrast so instead of the GR I went with the aluma look (it breaks up the black but is not as "loud" as the GR) which is why I did the ashtray delete that way (it actually came in black). Like I said, I am pretty happy with the cabin right now. Of course, there is always CF.

As for track time...can you track a cab? Not sure I want a rollbar.

Thanks again!

GT3 brake ducts are cheap and easy to install.

I have those already. I painted them to match the fuzzy dice hanging from my rear view mirror!

Depends on the track. I think most will let you on if you put a hard top on your Cab. I've done it with the hardtop, no problems.
