yes I would agree most are poor fitment, but spoon, Js, ASM etc are very good quality and took no modification, but yes I do agree, I would only do this if you are willing to keep the car for a long time, or would be looking to sell this car to someone who desires this kind of modification. Go for it, itll be very hot!

Hmmm...gotta think about it some more for sure. I am planning to keep the car for a few years for sure, as for resale, I've never really thought of that.

Hey Nick, did you happen to get the price for me on those splitters?

For the amount of money you'll spend on a widebody, especially of the high end JDM variety, I think you'll get more value if you just buy wheels/suspension/exhaust and s/c if you are really up for it hehe

now this is just my 2c.

I would love to go SC, but to me that feel like a waste of money considering it'll be $8000 said and done, labour and parts. In the end, I get great low end gains, but overall 50HP isn't worth $8000. Plus the fact that it'll need to be tuned regularly, and my knowledge of SC or FI in general is very narrow. And with Comptech going out the door, I would like something that has more feedback from the company if something does go wrong down the road. I don't really want a Vortech, and I could go custom but that'll be even more money down and possibly more unreliability. Also, for low end, if it really comes down to more torque down low, I would much rather spend $1000 or so on gears which will prove to be more cost efficient and great response. My opinion only

Wheels, suspension, minor engine mods (I/H/E, etc) will be it in the end for sure as I love the car as is. Wouldn't want to go FI.

I believe a SC yeilds more like 100 hp. It's waaay faster than stock.

Indeed... 300 to 320 WHP for most vortech kits.
