1. Recaro speed seats with rails and sliders = $1000
2. Rota 16x7 circuit 8's with tires= $750
3. Spoon style front lip= $200
4. Duck Bill (non carbon fiber)=$125
5. Tein SS coilovers=$875
6. Rear lower control arms from BodykitsNW=$175
7. SRR rear lower control arms, lower tie bar and sway bar kit=$400
8. Ground control or Skunk2 with Kyb Agx= $650

Well those are all I can think of now. (Some of the prices I did the average for)

If I had the cash I'd save up a little more and go with #7 and #8.... that's pretty close to what I have planned actually.

Well I was originally gonna go that route carbon fiber lip, duckbill, mirrors, carbon fiber hood and then some black rims. I have grey metallic paint job and I have seen a couple hatchs that look like that and I was not to crazy about them especially the rims. So I decided to keep the body all one color. Thanks for the reply

it seems to me you have a total sleeper. i would say screw all of those and get more internals for your engine. maybe some cams, sprokets retainers and springs??

if you dont want that sleeper look, i would go with the tein SS w/ a carbing 3 point strut bar.

Well before I do anymore work to the engine I want to get some better brakes #9. The only thing holding me back is that shipping #9 over to me in Germany will cost a fortune.

Default Re: What mod would you do next? (Mildly Interesting)

I was leaning towards the teins and the Rear LCA's. Only one probelm though SRR or BodykitsNW LCA's are not made for the ITR rear LCA's (which I wil need to run the Tein's)
So now I am leaning towards 7 & 8 because my stock rear LCA's look like pool sticks.
