Default I'm picking up my new eg hatch saturday, what should i do to it 1st.

I have sold my Ef and I'm picking up my EG this saturday, and I have some cash left over and I was wondering what I should do to it firs. I'm looking for it to look JDM.

Thanx

after you do this you could do all amber corners and side markers and stuff?(but dont rice it out). You could also give it a good lowered stance!

little cheap stuff to make it look good. then, like he said, lower it. get the suspension work done first. or get a CAI.

Install a good alarm .Thats what i wish i would've done first. Even tho my insurance company took care of everything involved in the break in it was still a pita.

Like stated above.
First thing first for a hatch. A good alarm.
Then from there whatever you want to do to it is up to you. It's your car.

First things i did to my car in order was:

1. washed car: 10 times before i had it insured.
2. cleaned interior
3. put my headunit in
4. Viper Alarm
5. lowered
5. Wheels
6. exhaust
7. small mods (intake, IM, tb, etc)
8. turbo.

its all about how much bank you got. I would get an alarm, and lower it.

Get a nice coilover suspension. Then a quad-turbo setup. I'm really happy with mine. then run it off of a cliff. That's what i would do if i was you.
