Without looking in the garage: Grill block (obvious, but very nicely done), Valve stem hint sounds like max/over inflation and/or low rolling resistance tires, and that air dam looks a bit large to be stock (plus, I'm pretty sure the stock doesn't overlap the bumper cover by the wheels, Though the more I think about it the less sure I am if it's stock or not though I don't see anything else that would qualify)

I'm not sure what sort of mods I'll have, just yet. I have to get tires before the trip so I'll at least be going for something with a higher inflation rating than my current tires (35 psi? are you kidding!?!?) and hopefully somewhat low rolling resistance (any ideas on brand/model, or where to look to find that?).

The other mod I really need to do is a hand throttle. I've done this trip to michigan in this car with no cruse control before, and would much prefer not to repeat that. I'll see what I can come up with for a grill block, but I won't have any coroplast till I get there. (6-10 sheets is good for me, Gascort, unless you're trying to get rid of it. If thats the case, I'll be happy to take more; it'll just take me longer to put it to use.)

(Edit) Oh, Nitrogen, snazzy! when you said green cap I was thinking of the cap with the pressure gauge in it; where its green when the pressure is above and red when the pressures is below a certain amount. Had some of those on the truck I had previous to this car. (/Edit)
