A little late for showing the extremities of a transformation, but got a quite a few things left I plan on goofing around with before I cross the finish line (wherever that is!).

Pending Mods:

*Tuner: Replace Diablo I2 with custom tune. Have Diablo in hand, pending installation.
*Headlights: Replace - TBD. Set above is my third, goofing around, will be getting or making something else!

Additional Considerations:
*Side Steps: Replace - With a Wheel to Wheel
*Fender Flares: Replace - Something larger to completely cover the -44 offset
*Window Tint: Replace - 5% all the way!
*Wheels: Replace - Would love something matte black w/o the machined cuts.
*Hood: something with scoop(s)
*Exterior Chrome and Badges - Go from dip to paint or liner.

****More to come since there really is no such thing as a finish line when your modding!

I'd post step by step transformation pics as I went along but lost most all of them. Had to delete to download an app on the spot to show the gamewarden I had a license. That was literally the one time I have ever got checked and the only time I forgot my license. lol..

Got an itch to do a mod this weekend, couldn't help myself! Raised rear seat and now have the folding option and the seat finally sits flat again. Everything works flawlessly. Next is to move the amps behind the seat.

Was a piece of cake. I spent longer driving to Lowes and hunting through their specialty section for the washers than doing the install. Lol..

8 washers. The stack should measure 3/4". The hole in the washer needs to be 1/2". I used these from the specialty drawers.

Well, have lost ability to edit my original post, so adding in that the Superchips is out and have the Diablo i2 installed for the last few days. Running a canned tune and will get with Jay for a custom tune soon.

What made you switch? Did you notice any improvement with the Superchips?
