Do you have a link for the exhaust and lip? Would like to take a look at prices



Did you install it yourself? 50 bucks sounds pretty good considering how long it has lasted you haha



Where'd you get the intake? And how much am I looking at? I'm stuck between whether to start with cosmetic or performance mods haha

I think that you should powder coat your rims first, and begin with the exterior mods. Winter is arriving quite shortly, so it'd be better to you to hold off on those parts once the storm has passed.. Adding any intake adds some throatiness to your vehicle, and once you have that intake going you can slap in an exhaust system which will make it sound rad.

TOTALLY worth it! I accidentally spilled coffee on the floor. At first I started freaking out then realized, oh yea I got the weathertech floor mats. Poured that coffee out and everything was cool. Rinsed the floor mat wipe it down and voila! right back in it went like nothing ever happened.

1. F Sport rear sway bar. MUST HAVE if you want better corner with less roll.
2. JL Audio sub and amp. MUST HAVE if you want better bass. The stock system high and mid frequency is very good set up so no need to change.
3. Coilover.
4. Rims.
5. Front lips, rear lips, rear spoiler etc
6. F Sport Intake (good sound and 5 free HP)
7. Exhaust from cheap M2 to expensive F Sport , Joe Z etc
8. HID lights 8k all around
9. Interior lights

There are more but these come up on top of my head right now.
