ok. Do it right for the love of god. Mods go in this order, no negotiating:

1) swap. Just do it and get it over with. its a hatch for the love of god put a swap in
2) suspension. Groundcontrols, KONI yellows
3) wheels. Rotas will do fine. Bronze and teal is super sexual.
4)motor/lighetning etc...

wrong, do suspension first, thats the correct way. and i would go with white rims, like rnr's. yes rota's are light, but those wheels suck, keep that in mind

Definitly an alarm. Whenever I hear people's stories of how their car got jacked its always the same reason....no car alarm. Sure some thieves know how to work around them but its still better than nothin.

An alarm is good because you will need one in the future regardless. Next should be your personal prefrence aiming towards what you want your car to be in the end, show or go?



Is this the color teal you have or is it the lighter color? This color is actually called "paradise blue" from the factory but I think it has more green/teal to it rather than blue. Then again, I think I'm half color blind.

1. Alarm
2. Suspension
3. Rims
4. Swap
5. Bolt on mods
6. Engine mods( ie: pistons, cams etc.)

* There may be things like interior accessories and what not that may fall somewhere in between there, but the first four MUST happen before all other mods.

But do what you want
