"The money power preys upon the nation in times of peace and conspires against it in times of adversity. Corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people, until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and the republic is destroyed." - Abraham Lincoln.

OE Chrome exhaust tips;
FOCAL 6-way components w/ stock harmon/kardon sound;
Kicker 6x9 free air subs;
FUTURE MODS:
Too numerous to count, but to give an overview... I am going to do a stroker kit to 3.0 with an M3 crank (knife-cut lightened and re-balanced), lightened forged rods, and new pistons. Compression to be lowered via HG for now. Custom ground cams by D.Elgin cams. Head work port and polish, possible valve job. Custom turbo kit with GT40R; custom dual exhaust with Magnaflow mufflers. Engine bay bling to be enhanced with Samco hoses and the new Cosmos V2.
Exterior will continue to be enhanced to full MTec trim, and custom CF Boser hood is already in the works (mold is made, just haven't had time to finish the hood due to a recent home remodel and moving to my new house). DDEs and real HIDs will be installed, and LTW MA Shaw CF wing. Rieger Type 3er side skirts and Rieger wide body flares will be installed to accomodate 18x9.5 BBS RS-GTs all around (black diamond cut of course).
Suspension will include H&R PCS Coilovers, H&R 28mm stabilizer bars, GC adjustable Control Arms and RTAs; Hiop RaceTec Camber/Castor adjustment plates. Also CF strut tower bar from UUC will be incorporated.
Drivetrain will be upgraded with an E46 M3 6sp manual tranny, Sachs high power clutch plate, lightweight flywheel from UUC, and UUC short shifter. Driveline will be custom built to sustain torque and be much lighter. Rear diff will be upgraded to Hiop RaceTec 75% LSD at a 3.46 ratio.
In the spring She's going to get a fresh full new paint job. Schwarz II has just a hint (a very insignificant amount) of red, white, and 2 types of yellow. I am going to repaint Her Jet Black. It will be more glossy than the stock paint and with no other tints it will just look so deep.
Other minor 'ICE' and fun stuff will be added in the process. This was just an overview; other things will be done as the process rolls on. Here are recent pics of my ride! :

pic in my sig
95 M3
87k miles on the clock. I've had it just over two years (since 58,645 miles). I couldn't be happier with the car. I haven't had a single problem with it in the last two years!
Mods:
Interior- Momo Tuner steering wheel, Momo short Anotomic shift knob. Should have some Momo pedals on the way soon.
Exterior- Painted moldings, E39 M5 lip spoiler, Replica CF ACS lip, custom LTW wheels (yes, I did them).
Lighting- ZKW's with modified cut-off (from Euro-spec uptick to DOT flat cut-off), Prolumen 5000k HID's, NO DDE's!!!! Fogs are modified to use an H7 bulb.
Performance, etc.- Not much yet. Tein Basic coilovers. Custom 3" cat-back using a DynoMax Race muffler de-baffled airbox (if you can call that a mod). Cobalt GT brake pads.
Stereo- Who cares. Enough to sound better than shit-stock but not enough to add any weight.
Plans- A lot of this is far off. I've been restraining from a lot of mods so I'm only doing it once.
-For body, I will add cf hood and trunk (painted) and a cf LTW spoiler (partially painted).
-Performance will be cams, ltw flywheel, and a super-charger (toyin with a turbo but not likely).
-Interior will be done with bolt-ons after some Momo seats. Just have to decide between adjustable and fixed back seats and how much I want to spend.
-I'm also debating between some CSL replica wheels and some Beyern Mesh wheels. Either way, they will be done in gold. Old school baby!!!
-As money permits, the next thing I'm likely to do is go back to the black motorsport flag. I miss it.
Before ACS lip:
After (with a shitty pic):
Good shot of how nicely the E39 lip matches contour:
