Default '08 Black/blk-red

I just purchased my 2008 S2000 and received last week after beating the hell out of my BMW 2002 325Ci for 6 years (which i still own and love to death). it was a great car and now i'm planning to do the same to the S2000.

Things i have in mind for it and please suggest otherwise if you believe i'm making the wrong choices. (let me know ASAP before i start ordering)

- 18x9.6 BBS LM (rear)
- 18x8 BBS LM (front)

- PSS coilvers (I have the KW V3 on my 325 and I like them)

- Mugen hardcover

Any suggestions for the following:
- Exhaust and Headers
- Air intake
- Pullies
- Short shifter kit
- Body work (mainly a trunk lid, front lip/bumper, side skirts, and read bumper)
- Lightning (no under body neons though)

Nice, sounds like a good color combo. Regarding the LMs, I have a set and they certainly look great. However, be aware that (1) they are heavy and the car handles a bit differently with them on and (2) if you drop, there is a good chance that you will rub during spirited driving. Check out the wheel & tire forum as this topic has been hashed over several times. PSS9s are very popular coilovers on this site, as are KW3s. You will be in good shape with either choice. HKS Hi-Power is also a popular choice, expect to pay around $700 new but if you are patient, they show up in the for sale forum fairly regularly. Mugen is probably the dream choice but it's much more expensive, over $1k. Lots of opinions on CAI, check out under the hood forum for opinions on both those and headers. Good luck and keep us posted on the progress.
