Tell the world a little bit about your vehicle
I had her for a week before she told me her name. After washing her this morning, I was adding some detailing and she whispered "Betsy". Needless to say that my level of smitten increased dramatically at that moment.

K&N Air Filter

Ordered three of these. One for each B-Pillar where the V8 emblem would be & a 3rd just because.

Maybe a new shift knob if/when the original leather wrapped knob wears down. It still looks really well though.

Future Modifications:
After reading a lot about the differences, I think I'm going to put drilled brake rotors on her. As slotted don't seem like enough and drilled/slotted are overkill for what I'm going to do. I feel the drilled are a 'Happy Medium'. CENTRIC Part# 12820019R (RR), 12820019L (LR), 12820018R (RF), 12820018L (LF).
