Nothing major here, mostly general maintenance stuff.

Plugs
O2 sensors
Brake maintenance (though I think I might need a new set of rear rotors)

Possible CAI install (it's been in my basement for more than 4 years) and then tune.

Install front chin spoiler (it's was painted and wrapped last year)

Thorough cleaning and detailing.
