Question The next mod - Need your help

Hey Evom,

Okay so my next modifcation, not sure what I should get. So can you all please steer me in the right direction. What do you think should be the next modification.

Please place them in order of preference or even combine two modifactions together to get (so long the price isn't a bomb).

Thanks.

Ebay Projector Headlights: $199 + 148 ship to Aus
Depo Tail Lights: $120 + $60 ship to Aus
RRM Camshaft: $599 + Shipping
Tie Bar or Sway Bar (or both): As per RRMs price
Spoiler: $340 Painted and Installed - Aus-spec OEM spoiler
Rims: $1250 shipped - Matt Black - 5zigen F1N0R

*All prices in USD unless stated.

Based on my mods, what would you do next? Or if there is anything else you think I should get next, please state it!

Cheers everyone!

Hehe, okay sounds good. Everyone else.. awaiting your input!

What cosmetic modifcations do you currently have?

You should go RRM UDP next followed by Headers/Downpipe/HFC > Exhaust System > etc..then Camshaft, just the way I would go though. Then the PB to tune her up!

i would get the rims and the sway bar/perches... this will really help your suspension alot. remember the rims will come with tires, so that'll make you stick better than the stock tires to (thats if you have stock tires) Seems you already got enough stuff done to the motor, that should be fun enough, start working on the suspension. whatever floats your boat

Thanks for the mixed responses.

I guess getting lighter rims will free up power and more grip ROL, so I guess that could be like cosmetic/performance which is the best of both worlds!

Will let you all know how it goes

looking at your mods, you're pushing pretty good numbers i figure. i know everyone here is pointing towards performance, but i'll say why not treat yourself to something visual this time? a set of rims will satisfy you for a long awhile and change the look of your car dramatically. then you can continue towards the performance/suspension route.

my thought was you suspension hasnt been touched. do those first and you'll have alot of fun taking turns like your on rails while you save up for the other goodies.

I see, hm I think stock suspension is okay to be honest, for now anyway, i'm still taking corners nicely.

I think I want rims, spoiler and headlights. And thats all I'll do for cosmetics.

R329, you're always on!

That's the goal.

after being with your spouse for over 5 years and having a 3yr old who cant talk about anything except thomas the tank engine and bob the builder, you'll be on here every waking moment also.
