Default Your favorite mod of all time???

Ok so the weather is finally getting better and I would bet money that many of us spend a lot of time outside working on our cars. Repairing, upgrading, modding our B5's, so i wanted to know what kind of mods you have planned for this summer. What are you working on or planning to start working on within next few weeks. Personally I'm looking to drop the car and ether buy new wheels or give BSA 304's rest of the summer to shine. Thinking about smoking the corners and installing LEDs in turning lights. Installing facelift tails or euro style once. Finishing LED interior mod that i've started this spring and never got around to it and finally getting that lower grille for my bumper that i've lost this winter when hit a snow bank while drifting :-/
Share some ideas of mods that you planning on doing this summer and also if you have something in mind that you think that would be a cool/great idea that you haven't seen around.
Enjoy

Forgot to mention that im thinking about repainting my trim pieces to another color. Maybe gloss black or silver like 'Im The Devil" has. Few days ago while at autozone i saw that they have clear coat paint that glows in the dark and i thought to my self how cool would it be if your interior trim was Glow In The Dark??? During the day its just glossy black and during the night it lights up!!! With a little black light LEDS it would look so nice while parked because whole interior would light up! What you guys think? As far as i know i havent seen anyone who has it or done that before. INPUT PLEASEEEE!!!!!!

A few things - one, new wheels (right now that depends on you lol - still thinking of swinging down next week? I have another spare grille that can sweeten the deal lol). To complement the hoped-for wheels, a set of H&R race springs, black roof, painted lowers, and finishing my suede retrim (halfway done).
