I would have definitely have gotten coilovers and worked on the cosmetics instead of buying bolt-ons for the engine... there should be a warning that says highly addictive when buying parts haha

I suggested it because:

1. That's what I had on my car, and it worked well.
2. Koni and H&R make excellent components.
3. Great performance for under a grand.

I guess the question is kind of vague but anyways heres a list of what i'd do if I started from stock and wanted to throw some money around.


apexi cat back, ws or n1 both great
injen cold air
aem pulleys
plugs and wires
jdm type s strut bar
and suspension, this would be the most argued part but I'd have to say koni yellows w/ground control coilovers.

I wouldn't bother with headers cause your oem ones are fine unless you drop a grand+ for ones that make a difference.

HID retro projectors.
S2K steering wheel.
OEM lip kit.


Those are my most favorite.

Also need JDM strut bases for type s strut bar, that is unless you go JDM suspension (Honda Access, Mugen, Tein with pillowball mounts, etc.). Nuespeed, etc. would just bolt right on. An upgraded rear sway bar would probably make more sense anyway.

wanting to make the car your own and asking others what to do, doesn't seem to go together.

search the picture thread and member's rides section, that will without a doubt tell YOU what YOU want most.

I'd probably put on a fake turbo whistle thingy in my exhaust and see if that would make the car instantly awesome... and then i'd make a new thread about it!

Sound Turbocharged?
