CA SevenStock the last minute upgrades!

Hey guys I just wanted to see what kind of last minute upgrades everyone is doing for this coming Seven Stock. I myself having school 4 days a week and 35 hours of work each week, find myself alittle bit overwhelmed... I've been splurging on parts but have no time to install them . with only 4 days left i'm down to the nitty gritty... Parts i'm looking to upgrade and upgrades i've done this past 2 weeks are the following:

DONE:
Magnaflow exhaust
Stoptechs BBK (rears will be done at a later time)

IN THE WORKS:
KW v3 coilovers (@group5 atm, no time to install myself)
MSD ignition LS2
COBB AP

I wanna see what else everyone is doing . Definitely looking forward for this event !

"Last-minute" upgrades = bad idea.

I guess everyone does it, though. Otherwise, we wouldn't have all those cool break-down-on-the-way-to-SS stories.

my upgrade is a car cover which keeps my car from getting dirty until my drive to sevenstock.
