Do you guys forget what parts you have?
 
So I've been accumulating parts over the winter, waiting for good enough weather to start installing them, and I just realized that I can't remember what all parts I've even bought. I'm gonna get out my boxes in April and find something I forgot I had months ago. Does this happen to you guys? Discuss

I've always been lucky enough to have a heated garage, so nothing stays in the box too long.

I have a spreadsheet with everything I do to my car listed; what, price, where from, date purchased etc.

My new rear diffuser is still leaning against the wall where the Christmas tree was so I can't forget it. Since it will probably be the one and only part I will put on then it is hard to forget.

Did you pick it for looks or aero?

I was keeping track of all the parts I have, even the most minute that didn't come with the car, but stopped caring.

Mostly I got lazy... then again, its not much compared to other people...

Looks. I just feel the rear looks unfinished with the bottom of the bumper just stopping the way it does.


For my DD running 10 to 20 MPH over a peed limit aero will never be the factor.

Didn't know if you tracked it at all. I like the way diffusers look but I want mine to be functional when I get one. Right now I'm ok with my fat cans showing under the bumper

Nah, not a track guy. I am pretty much just a Ricer that likes the looks and sound of racecar on my inexpensive, daily driven, coupe but will never actual track or race it.
Poser first class that simply enjoys driving around in a car that screams "look at me" and not afraid to admit it

I'm right there with ya, I just happen to autoX and I'm going to the track this year. But form> function

I also have one of these. It helps me keep track of exactly where everything came from and for how much. I also have future plans/parts on the spreadsheet as well with parts I might want to buy in the future.
