Default Ready...Set.. GO!!!

So ive had my car for about a year now im now 17 and have been wanting to mod my car since i got it. Ive seen so many nice is's and im ready to start my project. My check list is long but to shorten it black everything, carbon fiber interior, lower, intake, headers, and exhaust. so far i have TSW trackstar 5 wheels my tail lights blacked out as well as my grill. All i have to figure out is wether or not i want a body kit because i like the ings front end but i dont want any other lips or side skirts would it look stupid if i just had a front lip?

why do you not have coilovers on that list?


and 'blacking out' is so played out. save yourself the time and money and put it towards something better than just black...like suspension, new wheels and a lip kit.

guys he does have coilovers in his list, just not directly. he said he was going to lower, therefore he could plan on lowering on either springs or coilovers

megan coils, invidia midpipes, intake of your choice, exhaust of your choice, lip kit of your choice. i like the blacked out look, and its your car so do as you want. aerotect carbon lay over, f sport sway bars, and hid's seem to be the average list of what everyene is doing
