Default Show off your Ti

So,
Its a rainy Saturday here on the East Coast, therefore Im quite bored and thought this would be a fun thread since everyone enjoys showing off their rides. I know I see quite a few Ti's here that I have no clue whats done to them.... so post em up.

a. ) do a mods list... and feel free to say what your plans are as well.

b. ) pick ONE or TWO photo(s) of your car to post below.

NOTE : try to keep pic sizes reasonable, I know the forum auto-fits them, but it'd be nice to keep the loading times on the page down abit.
