nice man!! looking good!!

altho i couple things i'd like to add.
instead of getting Xenon Bulbs, just go straight to HID's. only cuz i have xenon bulbs, and i hate them. i was driving up north last week (sudbury), and even with my highbeams on, i could still barely even see things. with that being said, im getting HIDs installed very shortly before my next trip up there.

im not really digging the vinyl too much, but i tihnk it will match the style of your car.

your going to love the magnaflow. i have it, and its so nice. plus you get increased gas mileage!!

oh, and you need to drop ur ride too man!! the wheel gap there is killing me!! lol

but otherwise man, looks good.
i think you and me will be the only guys on this forum with underglow lol.
im getting 1000 coloud LED underglow installed the second i can affrod it.... so maybe in 2 weeks

You are going to get laughed at wherever you go if you mention that you have an electric supercharger.. just putting that out there.

I don't give a damn, it's your car, but that's doing absolutely nothing for you. .. not that any of the other stuff is either (unless you do enough road course racing to know the rear spoiler adjustments you need of course).

Yeah i didnt put that thing in, i decided to buy a catback exhaust instead. already put it in, and i feel the pull. next on the list is headers. Ordering them today.

Heres how my car looks with the spoiler, and forgs installed. doesnt look to overkillish with both... but, thats just me.

To do it right with good springs (Tein, Eibach) and Koni shocks would run about $800 for parts.
