Did you add on the HID headlights? Was it difficult/expensive?

Dude, I feel so sorry for you. It's sooooo downhill from here.

Unless you are Richie and you can resist temptation and only have ONE mod.

HID's are factory...

And yes, It is all downhill from here.

I think I have decided on the look the Carlson Exhuast gives with the stock rear, I actually like that the tips protrude a little... So that is probably $900 gone tomorrow at least since I also want to get the L-Tuned Spring / Beilsten setup... Here is my wish list and a few pics...

1. Carlson Exhaust


2. L-Tuned Springs
3. Beilsten Sport Shocks
4. Daizen Sways
5. L-Tuned Steering ECU
6. RMM Grill
7. SRT Intake + ECU
8. LSD
9. TC
10. FORCED INDUCTION

11. Axis Spider Rims


12. This hood and paint scheme but in Cinnabar


13. Vertex Body Kit


Theres more but I am going to bed... STB.... Tom's 6 point.... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Yes, I have already warned my wife... she is actually happy I am getting my Car Hobby back... I am so lucky!

Of course, she likes driving it more than I do...

Mikeyboy... Definately want to see some pics when it is done! I am wanting to go more of a sporty look with my GS thus the Gunmetal Spiders, Black Chrome emblems, RMM grill.... as nice as the stock chrome 17"s are, I just think the sportier look would be nicer on the Cinnabar... maybe I will know more once I see your car...

I like this look but I would do the grill mesh dark and would love to be able to change the chrome strip...



Does anyone know if it is possible to get the chrome strip that goes all the way around the vehicle in black chrome also?

Congrats CinFulxGS4.

Although my car came fairly modded, I did my 1st personal mod yesterday as well. The Greddy front lip, actually a pretty easy install.

Uh Oh...I off into the black hole of modding too! LOL!

Really... See I wouldn't mind doing a Mod like that myself except I hear there are issues with getting it pre-painted since I have the Cinnabar color as far as matching and such... Sometimes I wish I just had bought black... Just such a tough color in this heat...

If I felt comfortable about having the grill, sideskirts, and lip painted before delivery I would be on these mods like white on rice... I just don't have time to find a good paint shop and leave my car for a week or 2...

Starting small with the first mod only leads to bigger and better things.

Good luck on your journey.
