Sounds like a good idea. My wallet hurts just reading this!! Sounds like you
made some great improvements, and a lot of us are prolly a bit jealous....
keep us updated. I guess there is hope for aftermarket tuning here in the
ol' USA!!

I just hope you have a good alarm system, coupled with a Club-like device, a
pit-bull in the front seat, and a electrical force-field for any
undesirables that come within 3-feet of it!! Seriously, though, you may want
to talk to your insurance company about documenting these mods. If it were
to get into someone else's hands without your permission, they may only give
you blue-book value, and therefore, you're out $5k!! Just a thought.

How about somehow posting a picture on the 'net? Would love to see it....
