Well I've had my car all of a week tomorow (wed.) and already my car is modified, set a record for myself, heh.
Overall it's a pretty easy car to modify however talk about some elements that are just a downright PITA.
- Installed a Pro Fit mount for my XM Roady. Easy install, probably about the easiest thing I've done yet. The XM direct kit for behind the dash on the other hand, PITA. For whatever reason I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to disconnect that right hand bracket on the Hvac controls. Finally got it done, but man..
- Flowmaster axle back. Done in 2 hours without jacking the car up. Very happy with the results, those Flowmasters sound great IMO. Not incredibly loud, but enough to notice and with the pleasing flowmaster sound. PITA meter on that one incredibly high with that one bolt that is underneat the muffler itself when you remove the factory mufflers. Thankfully after you go put them back in that bolt is readily accessible but yeah not sure what Ford was thinking there.
- rear speaker install. That should only be a few minute job but thankfully my brightness decided that I should remove the orange factory screw mounts and replace it with some screws and lock nuts that I have. Heh well without a second set of hands that became a chore very quickly and no right angle phillips wrench means two screws need to be done later. I'm only half done those, thankfully a forgiving wife that was on her way to bed helped me tighten down 3 of the bolts so the speaker wouldn't flop about. That one by itself sounds pretty good back there though.
That'll be finished tomorrow after a trip to Home Depot for the phillips wrench but PITA factor for a set of speakers is unusually high. 
So yeah lots of little PITA things. Overall the car is easy to work on, just seems to be one bolt or whatever with each thing that makes it more work that it probably needs to be, heh.
About the only thing that went in easy peasy was the CDC Dynamite stick lights and my shorty antenna, lol!

before, you had to remove the wiring harness from the door to take the door off.
