So what other mods do you have planned?
For your IS's? Like give me actual products and stuff. I'm curious as to what everyone has up their sleeve. 
Me, I am shooting for a turbo by the end of 05. I'm not rich so it will probably take me that long or longer.
I don't know what turbo yet, nor how much power I'm going to shoot for. Just wanna see who will give me the best customer service that is for sure. 
New wheels are a definate in the next couple of months. I'm going to get the SSR SP1 in black satin. 19/8 in the front, and 19/9 in the rear.
here is a pic of the silver ones.
As I have said before, the L-sportline sideskirts and rear are going to be coming. Just gotta get the funds and get a good shop to install them.
A full suspension overhaul. Well kinda overhaul, the Daizen sway bars are going no where. You would have to pry those from my cold dead hands to get them, I love them! But I want either TEIN flex's or JIC Magic coils, zeal OR D2. I can't decide. I got a partial sponsorship from JIC so I could get those at a great price but I dunno. I really wish Daizen made coilovers. I also want front and rear strut bars, (dont know how the rear will work if I get a trunk setup but I'll have to work it out somehow.) and underbody braces. I want this thing to be unstoppable in the mountains.
I want to have a fully built trunk stereo by sometime next year as well. i don't like wooden boxes really with all the fiberglass magic that has been going on a lot. It just looks so much nicer with that. So we will see what kind of design I can come up with.
I want some sort of screen for my car to run movies and nav but haven't decided which yet.
Eventually I want a BBK. Endless would be nice I think.
See why it will take me forever to get a turbo???? That isn't even all of it either.
SO WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS???

As for me, most of you know my first priority is wheels! Next will be a Stillen bodykit, then I will probably do a 1- 1.5 inch drop. For the performance, I will get an AEM air aintake. I'm not sure about headers, because if I decide to do Stage 1, that will omit the need for headers..... but want to know something funny? I actually have a Flowmaster exhaust on my car, and it sounds really good!

I'm done. Really!!
Well, I just had a body kit put on. I just need to find the time to take some night shots.
Your plan sounds like it's going to come out great Can't wait to see everything done.
You being in Georgia is lucky. I hold off on pretty much all engine mods because of the strict CA smog laws.
Hehe...now I'm done with all the major stuff. Maybe I'll just get a Type-R sticker to complete the look.

HID level controler.
Who makes those? Is it intended to work with aftermarket HIDs that don't have self-leveling or is it going to integrate on OEM HIDS?

Mods? What's that? (lol)
I think I am going to go with slotted, cross drilled rotors next. My calipers need a new paint job as well. I could always go audio or video but I don't want to add any weight to the car.

Put those extra horses to work lugging around a sub in your trunk!!!
If you're serious about the rotors, let me know. I may go to just slotted on mine and I have a brand new set of fronts and the rears on mine are fine.
