Ok ive just spent 800 dollars on exterior modifications and here they are listed below. Many people have told me that they would have bought a new turbo with the money however this car has been through a fire and I think she deserves to be beautiful on the outside first. What do you think?
Angel Eye Headlights Blk/Blue $250
Carbon Fiber Euro side mirrors $80
Apexi N1 Carbon Fiber Muffler $110
Carbon Fiber Euro Taillights $100
Panasonic CQ-8100U $180 Great deal
Greddy Type-S BOV $150
TOTAL $870
 
I got it from a salvage place and I also got a Upper Intercooler pipe 150 dollars. For some reason the other pictures wont load it says the size is to big.

OMG Just because you dont see it does'nt mean its not there. :) Besides, my car knows, and I know too and now you know LOL. It just seems to me that anyone who really appreciates cars does not just look at it they inspect it, well thats what I do.
 
thats not bad... exterior is imporant too... Thats what my plans are this summer gonna do some exterior work first then performance...LOL :thumb: :talon:
 
I think im going to do alot of exterior work on my car before focusing on engine mods. Kinda thinking about building a 1/2 show 1/2 go car ROFL.
 
Personally, I'm all about having the 'go' before adding the 'show'. Sleepers don't get pulled over as often, and when the time comes, they can lay it down with the best of 'em.

Matters of personal taste.. those taillights are terrible. Almost as bad as fugly chrome Altezzas. And I second the comments about the 'carbon fiber' bits... I see way too many around here with the 'carbon fiber look' sticker pieces. It's stopped being top-end tuner gear, and started the inevitable slide into rice mimicry. Exactly how much weight is that carbon fiber (if it's actual CF) muffler going to save? Honestly.

The only bit that I can honestly say will look good are those angel eyes. The rest could have been spent on more useful things.
 
Well of course being a 1G owner, I care more for performance then looks.

Having said that, I think you wasted an assload of money on basically junk.

Sorry to be a prick but it's true. This is a performance enthusiast site.

It's cool looking stuff though at least. ;)

I guess its just another case of people with different opinions. All I ask is that you do not refer to my things as junk please.
