Talking Next Performance upgrade, what next?

Yo guys, I'm so siked, my team moon catback exhuast and kartboy short shifter and bushings are in the mail---should be in my next week. So that means I will have a CAI, CATBACK, and S/S installed upgraded in my car. What do you think I should get next? Here's a list of stuff I'm thinking about:

1. Diamond Plate Floormats
2. Headers
3. Tint
4. Racing Seats

PS. keep in mind that I don't want any rims or suspension mods, I'm happy with the ride and I love our stock 2003 PS wheels. Basically stock on the outside with some power on the inside.

Whaddya think guys?

Karl

The floormats and tint don't seem to be a performance mod I don't think the car is quick enough yet for racing seats or the upgraded brakes, unless you do take your car to the track. I'd say go with a header, even though it might make the car not street legal. Otherwise, tint is my second choice.

I think your list is strange!

So in that case, I chose tint.

My vote is for TINT.

in most areas if you put a header on it will make it illegal...you won't pass inspection.

the racing seats are really not needed unless you plan on autocrossing or something like that and then you shoud be thinking suspension/brake upgrades first.

Sorry...but diamond plate floor matts? this is a sport wagon...NOT a pickup truck.... :{D

Yeah, so far the tint I think is going to be next...summer is coming up and I have a feeling that it's going to be HOTTTT here. I know racing seats and tint aren't really performance products, I definitely worded that wrong...my bad. I should of entitled it "what should I buy next for the ride", hehehe.

Does anybody know if somebody makes a venom 400 type of module for our car? I've been looking around and all I see are the stuff that's on ebay made by some guy in east jibbip.

you have to tint the clear windows that the protege has. it makes the car look so much better along with keeping the inside of the car cooler in the summer months coming up. it also protects the inside when keeping the UV rays out.

you can save the other options for later in the summer.
