Description:

Starfire Pearl outside, beige/cream inside.
All options expect spoiler & ML dvd/audio.
The navigation sucks; wish I had passed it up for a handheld that would not screw me over when I'm driving in unfamiliar places. Nevertheless, hoping to keep this baby for 15 years (300,000 miles)....would only cost $3,000 to convert to electric engine anyway =)

Engine/Drivetrain Modifications:



Suspension Modifications:



Wheels/Tires Modifications:

Continental ContiExtreme DWS. It seems that these are hands down the best all-season tire out there, at an absurdly low price of $140 per tire (which is average or a little below for all-seasons). And in wet/snow, they rate higher than Michelin PS2's or whatever, which is what I'm most concerned about (want to survive the 1 to 3 snowstorms each year).

Interior/Exterior Modifications:

15% ceramic tint. Legal limit in my state is like 50%, but no comments after 4 police stops. Ceramic is way lighter, that is why. People don't have much trouble seeing inside, but it's not crystal clear for them. More importantly, I get some protection from the hot/blinding/annoying sun and the car stays cooler.

Future Modifications:
