It would be next to impossible to find a mod someone else hadn't. I think what makes mine most distinctive is my SC emblems.



I even got the SC to go with it.

How do you like your Injen intake? Any noticeable change in horsepower? How does it sound?

i installed it and the obx exhaust the same day, you can tell the difference, i didnt really notice the sound that much, i did the exhaust in town first then drove home and put the cai on, the cai filled out the deep tone in my exhuast, my engine stays cooler now and revs faster. i havent dynoed to see hp readings yet but will soon,

I've put a lot of stuff on my car. Most of which are subtle and hard to notice. I got them on a whim and 'cause I had an "itch" that needed scratching. But of all the mods I've done, the following are the ones I "got my money's worth" out of (in no particular order):

1. Voodoo shift knob - it just feels perfect and it's something that one uses every time you drive the car.
2. Neuspeed cat-back exhaust - got it 'cause of a GB price I couldn't refuse and I have not regretted it ever. It makes the car "growl". I've never liked the sound of a Japanese 4 banger. This exhaust changes all that.
3. AEM cold air intake - a noticeable increase in "grunt", not too different below 45 rpm, but "OH, MY GAWD!" sound above that.
4. I put on a "non conventional" rear spoiler that was dirt cheap but still gives the car a very distinctive look. I'm not one for "name" brand parts just for sake of having the name but I know once some people find out what it is, they turn their noses up at it. But I like it and that's all the matters to me.
5. OEM hardtop. Where I live, gotta have one 'cause it's my daily year round driver.

6. 3M Scotcal film (Xpel) front end protection - also because it's my daily driver, I need the rock and bug protection.
7. I've never liked the cabin turbulence on this car so I got headrests and I plugged the roll hoop holes with plexiglass and got the full size aeroscreen. The cabin is much more "liveable" for me now.


(Oh, and one more) 8. 10 disc CD changer - I'll never live without one again.

Without a doubt, the x-brace!

If you don't have one & you think your S handles great, just drive one with this mod & you wonder how it stay's on the exit ramp. It's like you on rails
