Well what do you want to do next? What section do you think requires the most work?

Exterior-Projectors, hids, tint tails/headlgihts?

Suspension-Springs, rear sway bar, upgraded end links, upgrade front sway bar

Rims/tires.

Short shifter?

Audio?

Interior?

Just pick a section and keep on working on it.

Yea I have to go with what he said for my car as well. I was thinking about HIDS as maybe the next thing to do. And I'm not sure if I wanna lower or not either. The fact I wouldn't be able to get into my driveway is what's holding me back.

I'd reccomend the TWM short throw. Easy install. Plus it's only $140 this month.

Or a header? Didn't see that in your list.

Also, rear sway from TTR is a good idea.

Yeah speaking of which, how did you manage to keep your rims so damn clean? Mine are dirty as hell from brake dust, so I gotta do something now to clean them up and bring back the shine. But I want the shine to stay this time. I plan on going with ceramic brakes soon if that helps.

I want to do springs on my car too, but as you stated your car sits pretty nice now. So does mine, (start sarcasm) so i don't really want to drop it 8" and put the wheels up in the wells (/sarcasm). I want it to look good but not be too low to drive down my roads out here.

Fully modded? Far cry from fully modded man. Springs, sway bars, trans mount bushings, new wheels/tires, torque damper, mounts..........

basically just view my vBgarage
