Whats the problem w/ that kit? I drove the test car and it felt and sounded nice. Also, I'd be getting a deal on it.

There doesn't have to be something wrong with it for me to dislike it. Just my opinion. Doesn't mean you should worry about what I say. I don't know.. just never cared for it when I saw the prices on the Stage 1 kit. It looks home-made and very tacky imo with the hood open.

I agree with mitsulancer, get the RRM intake and a full cat back system. If you are going to do it, might as well get the good intake.

Skip the spoiler....FRONT WHEEL DRIVE!...get the RRM stuff and if you want faster acceleration..larger wheels won't do...If you want all looks then go for all you have listed.

Well...I probably would upgrade later on to the full catback. Its just that the deal I'm getting on the RA includes the stage 1 kit.

I'm not worried about anyones opinion here...I just like to learn from others.

I'm going for an all around good package. Quicker then stock as well as better looking and performing.

Oh and BTW...the wheels I have selected MAY (I have to check the weight of them) improve performance. I don't know what the stock RA wheels weigh but I know that Enkei usually has pretty good weights on they're wheels...

Eyelids = GHEY.

Everything else sounds pretty nice.

I'm just not a big fan of the swept back look of the stock headlights....if there was another option...i.e replacement headlights then I'd probably do that instead.

Try not to look at just a list of parts...try to invision the finished product...thats what I did.

Newsflash...enkei's are not that great unless you buy the high end enkei's, and for that price you may as well go for a set of lighter forged wheels or something a little better...ex: volks or ssr comps - don't get the gt3's they bend easy I've heard from a lot of people...velox even makes a real nice set that just came out ...their progear series if I remember right the pg5r which weigh next to nothing (13 or 14lbs for a 17") and I got quoted at 1100.00 for the wheels which isn't to bad considering the weight and they are forged...

I wasn't saying that they were the best rims. But I know what your saying.

I would rather a set of Volk or OZ's but I DO have restrictions too...I may do the track once or twice so I'm not OVERLY concerned w/ the weight....I just know that I don't want anything that will hinder performance.
