Default Spring Cleaning in mind

Maybe I'm really getting sick of the cold but I'm curious what you all have planned for your car for this spring. Assuming mine doesn't sell I have a pile of parts in my basement begging to be used. So post up a list of what you want to accomplish in early spring and let's see who sticks to it.

Mine:
-Install Innovative motor mounts/remove torque dampener
-Remove engine ground kit, IM cover, and make bay cleaner
-Get 2 new tires
-Install Skunk2 extended studs
-Remove pinstripe
-Repaint side moldings (maybe remove), front bumper cover, and maybe wheels
-Replace resonator
-Replace painted interior pieces
-Alignment, oil change, and complete detail of course

Not really. I have the back seat, spare tire and subwoofer removed. Nothing crazy. Once I start running consistent times I will begin putting the car on a diet.

I suggest replacing the LCAs with a rear Progress sway bar package. You get the tie bar bling and it's a part that you can "feel" the change on your first drive after install.
