Default Next mod?

OK I took your advice and got the X brace, whats next? I think I would like to visit the intake/exhaust category. Trim a little weight, improve the aural experience of the car. Fujitsubo sounds like the best tone/no drone combo, can I find one that I don't have to wait 3 months for? What about intake?

My second choice would be a spring set.

so many choices.

i remember being in your position, and my best piece of advise if you plan to go all out on the car is to come up with a plan of just about everything you plan to install, from the brands to the types and colors. cuz i caught myself a few times having to get something else cuz of another part or something like that. you don't wanna do an install, pay for everything, and then find out you wish you woulda headed another direction.

A big welcome to Douge, our newest board !

Your next mod should be just that, YOUR next mod. Don't let others decide. If you want a *very small* increase in power and a more aggressive note (both under the hood and out the back), go intake/exhaust. If you want a cleaner look and a tighter ride, go springs. If you want to be a ricey wannabe, put a Ferrari logo where the Honda emblem is The important thing is that you make YOU happy.

zonie in his omnipotent wisdom is right. your car. your decision. your mods. which is why i only suggest. everyone to their own, but it never hurts to learn from the mistakes of others.

I do have my own opinion but for the sake of an argument, I would rather follow a successful pattern than do my own trial and error. I will excercise my opinion on things like which exhaust to buy or brand of intake etc...

The great thing about a forum like this and the fact that the car has been in production for awhile is that I can solicit opinions from owners who have actually been through the process which allows me to sidestep the headache and or dissatisfaction of errant purchases.
