NALM, to some of us, is a big deal. I like many others did a few things in preparation for such an event.

Heres my list of things I did to prepare:

Main Relay
Ball Joints
Nitrogen in tires
Brakes (rotors, pads, + calipers)
Buy gallon of type II coolant

Heres my list of mods I made sure were done before NALM:

sr5guy stage II chip
Weapon R SRI Custom Powder Coated
8000k HID's
Custom Bumper lights
Custom Rear speaker covers
Custom rear trunk deck
Custom lettering on engine
Custom Burlwood Knob Lighter
LED license plate bulb conversion
LED Corner light conversion

Still to do:

Full detail
LED cluster spotlight bulbs

This is my oem style Legend so I am not going too crazy on the mods for this one. Hopefully by NALM 2011 I will have a RHD 6MT :yes:

:lol:

I'm not really doing anything special to the cars. I did buy a new purse though :) Oh and if I get some time, I'm going to go get a pedicure. But that's about it ;)

I didn't need much. I just got my intake pipe+90 degree pipe+Fujita filter, so I just have to make my CAI tomorrow. My transmission filter stuff from Acura comes in on Thursday, so i'll be changing my oil/tranny fluid/filters either then or over the weekend.

I'm going to paint my windshield wiper arms tomorrow.:giggle: Just kidding (although I am going to paint them)... I did change the oil and tranny fluid today. Have a new full size spare aired up in the trunk. Wash, wax and it's ready for the highway to MO.

I just took all the seats out of my g1 and vacuumed the whole interior out, and cleaned the interior. I changed a cv shaft, upper control arm, finished up my info center install, changed the oil, checked the coolant, ps fluid, atf fluid (nice and pink :thumbsup:). I think I may still need an alignment I will get that done on Thursday otherwise I am ready to rock!
