Default Christmas Wish List

I'm writing up a list of things I need for when we go see Santa in a few weeks. Here's what I'd ideally want. May never get a single one of these things but a guy can hope right? Keep in mind my car will probably never see a 1/4 mile or road course and is my daily driver. These are more for my enjoyment than anything else. Although, I'm already thinking about getting a refund on my extended 3yr/36k warranty and putting that towards fun things.

Car came with a JoeZ intake.

Need:
High flow cats
Borla Cat back(I think i'd need to have a shop custom fit the high flow cats to this, correct? I want to stay legal)
PPE EL headers
Tune
RR-USRS

What's on your wish list this year?

i would say keep the warranty, in my case it paid off big time. as far as mods that is great list but with the price of the EL headers you could buy the whole power package from rr

Yeah it's probably smart to keep the warrant and save mods for down the road. Need to do more forum surfing to read about differences in the headers.

I'd like to get the tune and RR-Racing supercharger kit.

With your cat query, I managed to grab a set of PPE mid-pipes with the race spec hi-flow cats already built in. If your buying the EL headers from PPE, I'd ask if they offer a similar option?

Hope Santa is nice to you!

I've spent a ton on the car this year but if I meet all my business/financial goals for the year, new years I want to do:
*Headers
*Tune
*Reg intake elbow or RR tuned intake
*Wald rear diffuser
*H&R spacers

Have owned the car for 10 months now and I've enjoyed every mile of it! Already have done:
*Bayson R front lip
*Swift springs front and rear
*Joe Z exhaust (favorite mod thus far)
*Red painted calipers
*Red TRD push start button to match red interior
*Yellow overlay film on fog lights and yellow leds
*All interior bulbs led, reverse lights, rear signal lights, and side mirror lights all led
*Apexi Throttle controller
*RR Racing Usrs
* Apexi Air filter
*35% tint all the way around

I believe that's it, lol.
Contemplating the supercharger but 3 things making me 2nd guess....not enough examples out there yet for me to feel comfortable reliability wise, i would have to lose my fog lights (100% love them), and I peo want to move to the LC-F or 2nd version of the IS F whenever they are released in a few years and I'm quite positive they'll be making around the same power as the supercharger kit not, but be much more reliable. We'll see though

Also, I contemplated getting the extended warranty but opted out since these cars are super reliable and I personally will put 6,000-10,000 miles on it tops per year. Hopefully it'll work out in my favor.
Oh yea, a radar detector is on my list as well for the new year!
