    So, what are you guys planning to do to your Prix's before summer?

    Mines are

    *1. Transmission rebuild maybe from Intense or TEP.

    2. Side skirt rust removal, quarter panel and gas door rust removal and Repaint to Chevrolet Blue/Purple and Flat black bumper inserts and rally stripes.

    3. Struts and Lowering Springs.

    Actually on the Regal:

    Put in the button pod with the blank made into a button to use for performance shift. (I swapped the shifter)
    Get another center console to move the HUD controls and mold it for a hole for the aeroforce to sit in the center cubby behind the door.

    Don't undercoat. POR15. It's the better alternative.

    Speaking off.. I looked at my rockers by the door molding yesterday and I see some starting.

    I have all kinds of things I'd like to do to mine, but the wife's G6 is close to 80k miles, so I have a feeling I'll be working on it more than mine. It has steering issues (hydraulic, not electric), brakes are original, and I'll probably change the spark plugs. However there are a few things on mine that definitely need attention....

    My List:
    - Valve cover gaskets (still beatin myself up for not doing those while I had the intake off.) Just starting to seep; glad I got the recall done.
    - Spark plug wires (I still have the original ones from the factory on)
    - Fuel Filter
    - and, if I have any money left, get the stupid Pressure Ctrl Solenoid changed. Fortunately I know a guy at work that'll do it for a reasonable price, just haven't had the money for that yet. Really getting tired of a sloppy 1st-2nd shift

    You should see my rockers well my drivers side one is ate from wheel well to wheel well. I ordered the replacement though and having my buddy weld it. He's going to have to fab some metal still. I hope my body is intact.
