Carbon fiber Exterior parts on Berlina waste of money... Get the car in Good running condition and fix anything broken first... Paint

Stick on autozone louvers

money seems to be an issue by what you posted. just get your fenders fixed and save the mods for when you are in better financial shape.

Well...I suppose new color matched fender wins.

Anybody happy to know where to start looking? I've been searching the internet when I have time too.

Have you checked out the market place forum? I know a couple of people had OEM fenders for sale a little while ago, and even if you have to paint them, it will likely be cheaper than buying new parts and mayby, just mayby it will already be Berlina.

I agree with you...im in the market for a well priced exhaust and i think Tsudo isnt bad at all for the price. Its like a invidia knock-off but sounds awesome in my opinion.

Check out this youtube vid.

No I have not, I'm not interested in the hp that It could give you. Its just more for the looks, the weight it saves and the sound.... To see a gain in Hp you will have to spend a good amount in a really good product and the gains I would say would be minimal.

thanks for the video but I had seen it before I bought mine, there is also a few videos of this exhaust on a red S on youtube...I will take some videos soon of mine, I have the invidia test pipe and it sound just like the invidia, the quality its not bad, and its not heavy.. Thanks

screw it all and boost it...lol

coming from someone who was in the same position about 6 months ago I would say if the damage is not too bad, throw the money in the engine.

If I could do it all over again I would have put the $15K in a nice lip and then boost the living shit out of the car...but thats just me.

PS- I still love the look of my car, but I do wish I had some power to back it up. O well I still own most cars in the mountains..lol
I plan on going boost first gt35r FTW!!! My fenders are a lil banged up from being to low but I raised it up. I was initially going to get the fenders fixed and a whole new respray(GPW) but boost first!!

Just fix it back to par. Stock look on an S2 is best on lowered suspension & nice wheels. Most of the kits make the S2 look too crazy. Its like the car is round but its not & its boxy but then its not. All @#$%* up.
