Default Next mod?
Hey guys, so I'm still modding my car, Im getting my headers put on this week, but I wanted to ask what I should do next? I can either get the 3IS bumper conversion kit, or should I get the OV Tune and the seibon carbon fiber hood TSII... What do you guys think?
Here's how it looks btw!

My vote would be for the tune. Gains from the tune felt much better than from the headers and I'm not really a fan of the 3is bumper.

Reding out those tails should be part of either one. Good looking car.

The tune would be great, but more importantly the new hood would be too sick!!! So that's the way I'm going. I'm not a fan of the 3IS bumper swap on 2ISs in general. You already have some mods up front on the bumper already so idk how much can be transferred over or has to be scrapped

I think your car already looks great, so I say so go with the tune and get some gains in power.

I was looking for some, but being mine is a 2010, the company i was going to buy from told me the plug in connections would not be the same as it fits only the 06-08 models... :/

I was talking about the precut overlays. Here is a pic of nine. Kind of hard to tell. But if you zoom in you can see the outline of the vinyl. Got em from ebay for like 10.00 maybe.
