Default Need advice from the best

Greetings and Salutations.

I usually always check out the board to see what pics people post but now I need some advice.

1) Where is the best place to find window visors for a coupe? Brand? How about the hood visor or bug guard? I've seen limestand's and they do look nice but haven't really seen them on coupes.

2) I have really wanted to stay away from getting an exhaust but probably will. What system do you guys recommend that isn't white on rice annoying?

3) I have a stock set-up as far as suspension goes but I definitely need to do at least a 1inch drop. Recommendations? My budget is probably about 700-800

I appreciate feedback and I've looked around the forums but need some help.

1. a lot of guys like weathertech visors as for hood deflector weathertech or egr make good ones

2. apexi world sport II axleback

3. it's your cup of tea on this either you want full coilover or spring/strut combo, or just springs.

wish all people that needed help posted like you lol... srsly.


1. weather tech
2. all by preference, just look for some of the common names. megan, DC, buddy club, apexi, etc.
3. all depends how low you want to go. 1 inch isnt much but you can accomplish that with some lowering springs.


ask more questions if you need guidance.

For exhausts i would look into the Apexi, Megan Racing and Magnaflow ones. i've checked out a few clips on youtube and they sound nice and deep. As for the DC ones, i've heard they're pretty **** and annoying.

For suspension, most people go with the ground control sleeve + koni yellow or KYB AGX shock setup. you can look into Tein Basics and Progress if you could stretch your budget a bit. When buying suspension it all depends on your budget really.
