Type R kit ftw. Mugen grill looks great. Get ctr Headlights if you can. Progress coilovers. NO 17" Rims! 16" or less

Since you asked, I think you should consider focusing on upgrading one part of your EP at a time.

in ex. : if you are going to do suspension do ur HW and do it right the first time, and wheels and tires: choose a wheel that you like and you wont have any fitment issues with that dont weigh ungodly amounts. I would recomend buying a nice set of wheels like desmonds, works or mugens that you will be happy with for a long time. Choose tires that suit the kind of driving you will do doing and the enviroment you live in best.


I would say you should accompany your mugen grill with a mugen intake

</TD></TR></TABLE>holy crap, lets pick some of the most expensive wheels you can possibly imagine for someone who is just starting to mod their car. that is exactly what they need.

so just forget most of your shopping list and go buy some MF10's for $3k+

spend your money on what you want. its your car, you are driving it. btw weDsport are good wheels. get 16's, they will be better

Well good luck saving all winter for cosmetic parts. But based on your above claim you're probably making $30-40k a year so it'll be no problem for you.
