Lot's of similar top 10s. We have good taste. The one's I'm most happy with are:
1. Adding extra support and cushion to the original seats (by far most appreciated on a long drive)
2. JBA headers and exhaust (better than a symphony)
3. T5Z w/MD hydro clutch and roller pedal support (or is that 3 mods)
4. Detroit Tru Trac
5. Magnum 500s - They just look right
6. Passenger side mirror
7. 3pt belts
