"To Do" List - Planned Modifications and Tinkerings

Exterior

- Small black/silver flames that augment the "PT CRUISER" badge on the sides. I have them, just waiting for a week of decent weather so they can cure properly. So...I'm lookin' around April then. :/

- Chrome wiper washer nozzles with LEDs, purple or selectable colours

- Underbody LED light kit, green or selectable colours

- I am looking for a chrome replacement for the front plate bracket. Changing the plate's location is not an option (have to keep the radiator, transmission oil, intercooler, and brakes cool!)

- Factory inlaid chrome grille, not that 3M tape stuff. I am looking for one for sale.

- Paint the brake calipers; black, black metallic, or yellow (see my poll to cast your vote!)

- WANTED: Stock rear bumper molding or rear rollpan, paintable or Tangerine Pearlcoat

- WANTED: Stock lower front fascia, paintable or Tangerine Pearlcoat

Interior

- Mopar subwoofer, it is concealed and will fit the bill. I like the factory stereo just fine (especially the Sirius satellite radio) and I do not want all of that boom-boom crap. No offense to anyone (different strokes...) but I find that to be completely retarded and pointless.

- Install my laptop/PDA GPS antenna just under the top dash molding (I hear it works) whenever I have the time and courage to take it apart. (I have a removable PDA mount bolted under the driver's seat--I can find my way out of a paper bag, but that's about it.)

- :) I would love to have this installed in the passenger seat:

- Install AROOOOGAH! horn with pushbutton to match in the blank panel next to the traction control switch

- Steering wheel spokes: I have the colouring, I forgot to order the billet spoke covers! (Doh!)

- Chrome, flamed rear-view mirror (possibly--still contemplating the "gaudiness factor")

- Billet shifter knob for AutoStick, Tangerine Pearlcoat, billet aluminum, or perhaps leather-wrapped. Something. Anything! The factory one is kind of lame.

- I am contemplating painting my center dash console frame to match the ABS cover/instrument panel covers and body colour. The painted ones with darker body colour look really nice, however, my colour is a bit more dramatic and any capriciousness can go awry.

Engine

- Replace all hoses and cable looms with purple looms. Or just black looms.

- Stage 2 turbo upgrade kit w/turbo toys, whenever it is released

- Straight-through, resonator-only 2.5- or 3-inch exhaust (still researching)

Suspension

- Hmmm...I need to clean under there! (I have the Undercarriage cleaner :)

- Aftermarket rear sway bar (I cannot believe Chrysler removed those from the package!) and thicker front stabilizer bar if it is worth replacing the OEM bar.

- A lower, stiffer suspension. I have not decided what yet, but not too low; I just want to get rid of the disproportionate wheel gap. I am thinking of the KW adjustable suspension (where the heck can I buy it!?). I am tentatively thinking a 2.5" drop.

- Rust-resistant, shiny new rotors.

Gee I hope the stock market continues to do well so I can buy all this s***! :D
