I did all of mine at once. Lights, suspension, exhaust and intake all during one sitting at 702Motoring. Really, I don't see getting another mod unless I can get a Supercharger kit or Turbo kit for the car. Outside of that the ipod adapter is the only that looks practical. Hell, if I could go back in time I would have left the suspension stock. It just wasn't worth the money.

Why you want to leave the suspension stock? Something happened?

About 2,500 miles, Springs and wheels, 9k I added intake.
Hopefully within the next few miles I can get the exhaust on, and maybe a front lip.
