Any advice, suggestions, or direction pointing would be great! :)

1 - SRT-8 License Plate Frame (Found on Amazon, their site has cheaper shipping though :D)
What do you think?

2 - SRT-8 Apparel - Hat and Shirt (Found a black shirt on eBay, but would like to see more)
Need help finding a hat! Finders Fee? :p

3 - Shorty Antenna (Found one at an excellent price!)
What do you think?

4 - New air filter. K&N drop-in is around $40, but Advance Auto Parts has special on paper filters

What's next?

Bringing it to the track this week!!! :D

Springs - in a couple of months since I'll need an alignment and installation which will be more than the cost of the springs :D

CAI - probably BWoody, Mopar (more dealer friendly), or I'll make my own :rolleyes:

Tune - or is a chip?

I picked up the Black Stainless SRT plate from carBeyond, Also got the black shortie antenna, I went with the Mopar CAI. I did see a few SRT shirts and hats on Ebay, Dont forget the wheel locks, There's a bunch, i went with the gorilla Locks, a set of 20 from Summit racing, i put two on each wheel.

My Antenna is 8" " from a different site, I cant find the email but i'll keep looking, it works fine as far as receptions, but i dont listen to the radio that much, its either MyGig, Ipod or Satellite.

Yeah, I went with the GEMINI on carbeyond, but they don't have it. They will be shipping Priority Mail today, so I switched my order to the PIONEER.

I prefer weathertech's plate covers. They look good in black and have a gasket that keeps the plate clean.

+1 on Shorty Antenna Source.

Free shipping and save $2 on coupon 'gmtruckclub' :D AND! It actually arrived with an adapter that fits! :)

Order was placed on the 1st, shipped on the 2nd, arrived on the 5th, today, 2 days later.

They are located in NE, so they have the advantage of shipping to either coast within a few days :)
