I'm planing to get 2 more mods for this summer.
Which one should I buy it first?
If you pick one of them first. what's the reason?
I need you guys opinion. thanks.

1.Exhaust - I heard I get about 5-8 HP basically it is for sound(?)

2.Coilover - I have 17" Rims. Is that really worth to buy it? seem like gap is not that huge.

3.Amuse CF hood - I just got new paint and I dont know CF hood gonna looks good
on this color or not

4.Sound System upgrade ( Side Speaker upgrade, Add two more speaker at the back,
New heat unit...)- I have sub. It is not enough but not too bad.

5.50 shot of nitro - some of my friends said it is no good for
my engine.

6.Rick's Final rear gear set - I dont really have infomation about
this. but one of my friend said if I
install this I can go about 0.5 sec
faster for 1/4 mile.( is that ture?)

wow you have some good choices.....
being that they are all good mods, its your call if it were me I would rank them in this order

1. I would get new exhaust because how the car sounds is a big big deal to me. and this is a pretty decent priced mod espescially if you go with Spugen! Spugen has reported gains up to 5.5whp with dual and up to 7 or 8whp with a single.

2. Next would be the gears, from what I hear this is the best mod around around a grand and no one ever really gets to 150+ mph that often anyway. Plus you are not adding any extra work to the engine just making better use of the power you already have.

3. If that is your S in your signature meaning its a nice white, I would get a CF hood because I love the way White and CF go together.

4. Next would be coilovers, coilovers are a very good mod, but personally I would just my the kg/mm race springs, they have a nice drop and from what I've read improve the handling, plus they won't leave your pockets empty.

5. Sound system, The S sound system is pretty under par, but all the more reason to listen to the engine and exhaust

6. NOS isn't for me.

Note this is just my opinion, I don't understand your situation exactly or what you like but thats what I would do. Good Luck.
