Default what mods to do next?

alright, i just put my stock exhaust back on b/c i drive alot late night home from work at like 1-2 am.

not really into making the car faster (specifically louder) i like having a quiet exhaust again coming from an invidia owner.

im actually tryin to figure out what mods to do next tho and am having a hard time tryin to make up my mind.

ideas are:

coilovers (which ones tho...within reason)
exterior accent pieces (front lip, spoilers, etc etc...)
rims (dunno...)
audio stuff

figured ppl would like to give their .02 saying what they would do in my situation.

thanks guys


by the way all i have installed on my car now is : aem v2 intake, j's strut tower bars, spoon rear tie bar

Lower it with coils or shock spring combo. I would save the exterior accents till you realize what bumps you can take and what you can't.

Rims... meh... powdercoat the ap2 and call it good.

Audiostuff is a must for me, spent around 2k on my system.

then save up for FI

Or just get another exhaust. I heard O-turn is selling his t1r 70mm exhaust for 1,000. That's pretty much a steal.

Personally after playing with all sorts of different ext. and performance mods, I sold everything, went back to stock then installed a SCer. I don't know how much money you have to play with, but F/I is my suggestion. You can keep the exhaust and such stock and nice and quiet and still have a lot of power.
