what to get

Well it seems like you got your sound sytem thing going on so i would say get on ebay and get an in dash lcd to finish the I.C.E. or a performance part like a clutch/flywheel combo or even a nitrous bottle if it floats your boat. Check out my website and click modification guide i've got most of it done but it's not fully compelted. I hope it helps

ok, judging by your mods, you've done the typical mods and have gone way beyond on some, you've done what you can i would take it to your intake, you've done the exhaust system nicely, sound system is by far well done (just saying with all that noise and head unit of course), you've got the rim look (don't know p5's well enough to judge stock components or not), but typically, i would think the next step would be going out and getting a set of lowering springs for your car and drop it a little bit, maybe get some tie-bars as well or something to stiffen up your handling on that puppy.. really i don't know, but seems like the next step would be either some engine mod, or i think you might be better off dropping that 500 into some suspension work... might not seem worth it, but i guarentee it would give you a little more bang for the buck.
peace
hope this helps

I agree with Demoninvictus. Spend the $$ on the suspension!

I think you should get an in dash LCD to compliment your sound system. Save up about $200 more to get a really nice one. Trust me, you'll love it. Surround sound in your car...after this, you'll rather watch a movie in your car than in the house. Believe me on that.


LCD Monitors

my vote is for lowering springs and a 19 or 21mm rear sway bar. good luck. the ride is looking really really nice. your subs in the hatch look killer! keep it up!

I vote for suspension, your ride will look 10 times better if you lower it a bit. Just my 2 cents.
