Default 2009 is350 mods

what can i do??

i dont wanna spend anything on performance because i really dont care that much.

but i wanna work on the exterior.

i haven't found many front lips for the 09's yet.

the only things i want on the car right now is the front lip, HID fogs, roof spoiler, and JDM window visors.

can you guys throw me some links on where i could get these parts and an estimate of how much it would cost??

thanks in advance.

Look at the Fortissimo lip, it's so sick! I would do a 09 conversion for that lip

Someone said that Vertex is working on 09 body kit. Haven't heard about INGS for 09.

I've heard many people say that they don't wanna change the performance.
Until they sit in one that had been modified by either exhaust or intake.
then they change their mind 360 degrees..LOL..
But, that's totally up to you..
There's only a few out right now. Like the Huntington at l-tuned and vertex
is working on a 09 Is lip too.
Try Nigel-jdmparts on vendor for fogs and jdm side visors...

honestly, drop then rims will make the most dynamic impact... everything else is just window dressing.

Neither adds enough performance for a human to actually notice on a 2IS.
(5hp for an intake, 5-7 for an axle-back exhaust)... those are roughly 2% increases each on a 250.


They add lots of sound though, which some people -think- is adding power.


But I bet if you put earplugs in a driver and let him test drive two cars, one stock and one with either mod, he'd be unable to tell the difference in a double-blind test.


Folks who wanted performance already bought a 350 anyway. (where you won't notice the gains from either mod either, but at least you start with 50% more hp)
