Cam and tune.

a bad-*** amount of anti-theft devices. protect your investments you already have, then worry about future ones.

More layers of security the better.

carbon fiber parts

Altezza tail lights, flame decals, 2 foot wing, fart cannon exhaust, and some ratty seat covers....

But no, seriously, how bout some tint, viper alarm, upgraded sound system (if daily driver, and not used for racing), fogs?

I got 2% professional tint job all around, thinkin bout gettin a viper alarm..can the remote start be installed on a MT car??

really like the carbon fibre idea..hood n spoiler maybe..


any ideas go ahead

yes a remote start can be installed on your manual transmission car, your neutral safety switch will just need overridden. And always make sure you park in neutral!

Given the information we know now, I think your next mod besides an alarm should be peeling that ****** dark tint off and going with something a little more tasteful, but that's just my opinion.

Also i don't think a carbon fiber spoiler is the direction you should go, again my opinion, but i think they just look cheesy especially on a 4 door.

+1 for the alarm idea.

2% is pretty damn dark, limo, i believe is 5%, I can't imagine how you would see anything past 8:00 through your back window. What tint laws do you have? Or better yet, do you NOT have? I live in Virginia and it's 50% in the driver and passenger window and 35% for anything behind that. I got that and it looks pretty clean.

And what FFF said was right, you can get it installed on a manual, but it can be considered illegal. Because obviously if the car is parked in gear, it will jerk forward when started, so that's why it always has to be in neutral. Some places around me won't install them on manual cars, only automatic. It's a little risky if you forget, but usually not a big deal.

Sound system may be a good thing to have, I know I hated my stock speakers on my EK, and I went with Pioneers all around. 2 6x9's and 2 6.5's. Makes my car sound beautiful. Not sure what you intend on using the car for, but sound system is always a plus.

As for the Viper alarm, I got the 5901 installed, and I love love it. I'm always so OCD about locking my car, and the LED display always lets me know if it's locked or not, so I don't gotta leave work just to check on the car, haha. It also has a mile range, so it's very helpful in letting me know if people are trying to fack with my car (sends me a signal), and also I can lock/unlock/start my car from a long long distance away.

Maybe another idea is some aftermarket seats and/or a nice leather steering wheel stitched cover.

you can get remote starters for manuals without jumping the neutral safety switch. you have a "shut down sequence" to arm the remote start it's something like put the car in reverse then apply the emergency brake then put it in to neutral. had a friend who had one properly installed on a srt-4.

I'd recommend some sticky tires, motor mount inserts, and a stage 2 clutch.
