First mod was BBS LMs, a little lighter than stock and a lot stronger since they are forged and look a lot better. Then I did a K&N FIPK intake and got a lighter single exhaust from T1R to replace the old and rusted stock one. If you want to check out some good deals on quality wheels check out Memory Fab, they offer great deals on refurbished wheels from almost any wheel manufacturer.

I went in this order, which I feel is also the best from a performance standpoint:

1. Replace junk tires with a top-tier street tire (for me, this was Dunlop Star Specs in 2010). Nothing else will give you a bigger increase in handling regardless of how much money you spend.

2. FlashPro (biggest power gains for the money)

3. Testpipe (leads into 4)

4. Custom e-tune to take advantage of #s 2-3 to gain 25+ ft-lb throughout midrange

HFC, flashpro and a gernby tune. If you're not planning on going FI for a while or ever, flashpro should be at the top of the list! If you have an 06+ that is

Have had the car for a year and a half and the only thing I bought has been the Smoked Side Markers.

Saving up for a turbo.

I learned to drive the car hard before I upgraded anything.

Kenwood MP3 head unit, Michelin Super Sport tires, Mobile-1 synthetic oil, CR clear side markers, PRM intake (in that order). Everything else is perfect.

Richard Ming's (aka Mingster) dead pedal the same weekend as Lucid's rear speakers. Back in the day there really were no parts except for things made by guys on the board. Richard was a student at Pepperdine who replaced the AP1 plastic dead pedal with a nice aluminum one (matched the pedals). Later Rich approved me sending mine to Muz in Australia so he could create a right hand drive model for the other half of the world. Lucid sent me rear panels with speakers when I said rear speakers would not improve sound ( back when I was the Moderator of Under the Hood- XViper replaced me for any board historians out there). I was wrong.....rear speakers are a must. Thanks Darkknight for taking that mod to the next level.

That said Darcy is spot on. Mind your maintenance first.
