Default Next step...

Whats up! Well I've been extremely happy with my PEARL ISF that's only one month old now. I've got the tint done, what do you think I should go with next?
I was thinking smoked taillights but that doesn't seem to be a very popular decision.
Help! I think I've got a minor case of the mod bug.

Mod bug doesn't have to be a bad thing, unless cash is tight. I'd say maybe LED interior or a suspension upgrade (springs/shocks). But definitely enjoy your F!

You have to ask yourself if you want to mod your car cosmetically or performance wise.

Cosmetics I would go with rims.

Performance I would go intake/exhaust.

im in the same position too!

In your case, I would say one if not both of these things:

1. Exhaust , ie Joe Z
2. Plastidip your emblems

After talking to so many people and seeing great vids of the Joe Z exhaust-- I decided to pull the trigger on a Joe Z exhaust!! I placed the order and it actually ships out tomorrow. Half hour later, I called them back and added the Joe Z CF exhaust tips to the order.
P.S. I'm incredibly pumped to get both of these things!

Also, when I contacted http://www.l-tunedparts.com to purchase the exhaust, they informed me that they are receiving 10 exhausts and 7(including mine) have now been sold and paid for. So if you're thinking about it, go with it before you have to wait for them to restock!

The grill surround is pretty cool. I was looking at that on L-tunedparts.com. Is that where you purchased it? Also, did you install the black emblems yourself? Or get them painted? Those are pretty sweet!
