What are your winter mods/upgrades?
#26
Mostly just need to buy stuff still, I'm in no rush though. 👍🏾
- Buy/Install A-pillar dual gauge pod
- Buy/Install wideband O2
- Install boost gauge
- Buy/Install resonator (I bent my midpipe at shannonville last year, also want to quiet the car down a bit, two birds one stone)
- Buy/Install aftermarket front bumper and sideskirts
- Build/Install rear diffuser (cutting up rear bumper as well)
- Buy/Install Rtek 1.7 or equivalent
- Paint car
- Print/Apply livery
- Adjust Bride seats (passenger side seat sits too high, co driver's helmet a little too close to roof for comfort)
- Retrofit LEDs into FTP lenses
- Adjust ride height (I don't like how it looks right now, super functional but too high)
Lots of work but I'm pretty sure I'll get it done before I put it away again next winter 😬

I recall this being in a thread in this section a while back,not sure what it was titled though..If you tap in Windshield and Canadian section something might pop up.

Ended up finding 2 windshields at Rockauto.com. I bought both of them but might be an option in the future for someone if they get more stock. I was unable to find a replacement windshield around the edmonton area.
