(1)I have been toying with throwing the PSC ram on for this race, but leaving the mounts for both.  Everything would swap back and fourth to a new car, or its only 300$ in parts meh. 

(2)id like to pull the front shocks and put them on the rear, put the new shocks on the front
(3)Front driver bump pad deserves an extention
(4)wash job / new profender decals
(5) mount extra yellow top
(6) fluids changes
(7) check both front king pins / weld up passengerside also
(8) front tool bag mount
(9) mount new highlift
(10) check front shaft everything
(11) grease job
(12) wheel studs
