lower, wheels, exhaust, intake, 09-11 headlights and tail lights.

so far we have picked out the greddy se exhaust since its similar to mine on the frs and the greddy intake. she doesn't know if coilovers or springs yet.

Diggin the F-RS. What wheels do you have on it?

as for mods. Coilovers are probably the best option since a lot of people are indecisive on how low they want to go. You have the option to raise and lower with out compromising ride quality. to keep close to stock, people really love the megan EZ coilovers. everything else is just brand preferance

Rear sway bar should be in there if you can. It greatly improve handling so much!

Go for HID headlight with LED (2011-13 version) which is so much nicer.
