Planned changes for winter?

Sound off...what are your planned winter upgrades?

I am going with the IrocZ hood and the 1LE front chin splitter. Will likely have my spoiler and rear diffuser painted gloss black to match.

I just installed different rear taillight blackout kit from southern car parts...the tail lights worked flawlessly. The third brake light was a complete joke. It didn’t come close to fitting. I will take pictures this weekend and post.

What mods do you have planned?

Here are pictures I posted of the upgrades in another thread:

I also need to add a trickle charger and maybe add some 93 octane to the tank for ease of starting in cold.

Installed the Iroc Z hood from Magg Performance today. Next step is to find someplace to have it painted.

Immediate benefit, with this hood the sound of the Maggie is awesome...before I couldn’t really hear the blower unless I really got on it.

Winter up grade

Nice hood by the way. We have put our rag top away for the winter up here in Canada she only gets out in spring and summer . Now if we lived in a top down climate all year my wife and I may never have gotten out of our Beast except to pee,,,,,, have fun in your rides. When ever you get to drive them.

Yep. My ride goes up for winter too but when I get reasonable days, we are getting some work in.


Planning hood, spoiler, tires and alky injection for winter.

Well, we are deep in the winter muck over here in mid-Michigan and I haven't seen my car in about 2 months. I'm dying over here!
Anyways, I have a set of redline hash stripes, red paddle shifter extensions, red ABS door speaker bezel trim, and a new rear seat windscreen on their way to my front door next week. Once it gets above 40 degrees we'll heat up the pole barn and get to work.

Snuck the car out between snow and ice storms to Jannetty Racing for Kooks headers, E85 Flex Fuel Kit, and Tune. I think it went on the dyno last Friday. Should hear today what the numbers are. Once I get her safely back home and in the garage it will be time to refill the coffers and look to Magnusen Super Charger.
