Grats on the order. Personally, i just bought a ww gsr and will be working on the appearance of the vehicle (wheels, coilovers, lips etc.) before touching anything under the hood. Hopefully giving time for the engine to settle in before voiding warranty. But hey, thats just me.

I'm in the same boat for sure, probably gonna get some Megan Racing coils and probably the Turbosmart Dualpot BOV to start...then get some Rota P45R in matte black with red lip. but the wheels might be next year after the winter

Congrats on the order! I ordered mine in mid-November and should be here likely the third week in March. Believe me - waiting in the hardest part.

I know my immediate list includes the following:
RA mudflaps
WeatherTech floor mats
Clearbra

Some items I would like before year's end:
Exhaust
Intake
Tune

Congrats! How was the ordering process? Is your price locked in now or is that finalized when the car arrives?

I wish Mitsu would do something like BMW/Audi/Merc/Volvo and their European delivery programs, but Japanese delivery.

just did a basic quote with window sticker prices...which mean nothing obviously since the price will be talked down...put 500 down...fully refundable...will actually run all numbers when the car comes since financing changes month to month...and they already threw a grand off just for ordering

Why would you drop 40k on a car and get "everything you want", like you say, and then get cheap parts like Megan coils? The stock BOV is fine, just get an open element intake and you will be happy with the stock BOV.

You will be much happier if you save a little longer and buy quality parts.

IMO to make a X look good, ditch the wing, drop it (NOT SLAMMED), wider sexy tires and probably a (dual?) exhaust? but then again, that's just me. I would spent tons of time going through the "Official WW X picture thread", and get some solid ideas

If I can do it all over again I would do the following

weather mats
Mudflaps(if desired) not my taste
Tints
Works Short Shifter and bushings
Shift knob (optional)
ETS Intake
Test Pipe
Tune(3 port installed)
simple parts and will go a long way
