Take the sub out and sell it, take the intake off and try to sell it. Don't bother with n/a mods unless you swap it. Get coilovers and H.I.D's ( they look great on ep3s i dunno why ) then save for boost.

What do you prefer to do on your ride? Performance wise or base on looks?

if it was my car i'd start with suspension and wheels/tires. a better suspension makes the car way more fun to drive.

First thing I did the same day I got my EP was take off the front license plate lol. I hate that frickin' thing, and I don't care if I get a ticket because of it haha.

The most important things I think you should do are your brakes (get a good set of discs and good pads... if you need help just ask), suspesions (plz read up) and wheels and tires!!!

Those are 3 most important things to do to any car! Don't waste any money on stupid things that don't do much... I guarantee by just starting with the 3 mentioned you will be more happier then HID, tints, intake and all that bs... Many will agree!
