already have good drilled/slotted rotors for street. and my hawk pads still have a lot of life left.
i guess i should add that i also have ams brake lines.

but that does give me an idea. maybe ill get new upper and lower clutch lines.or the stm line that replaces it all. (i think its stm that sells them)

yes stm line for sure i have that. or how about powder coating your rims or even getting a set of rims or even some minor weight reduction items. How about Cf VG from rexspeed or even getting some carbon wrap and wrapping peaces or the roof of your car or the diffusor part of the jdm rear. fortune auto bolt kit. Paint your heads and tail lights or get jdm versions. cf hood trunk new spoiler, cf front splitter(apr)

lol throw them all at me. i like where your head is at

dont really want to do speed density
have jdm head lights already and black painted tails
the mani coating is a good idea. although i spent a few hours wrapping it in heat wrap
engine dress up items are good too except i dont really show my engine bay off. seems kind of a waste to me
bride seats are $$$$ well over the 1k i got lol. id get seats that recline so those are even more money
my interior isnt to bad as it is. suede headliner suede a,b, and c pillars. most my interior pieces are wrapped in carbon 3m di-noc. not much more i can do without going to an upholstery shop and spending A LOT of $$$

yeah i think ill order that stm line now. i like the hyper black color on my grids. dont think i would powdercoat them or get a different set of rims. i wouldnt really swap them much. weight reduction doesnt seem bad, but again i think it might be a waste for a street car. i have VG already but not in carbon. already wrapped most trim pieces with the carbon wrap and i have also put some on my roof and trunk already

only reason i did the trunk and roof was because there were chips and scratches on the paint from all the road trips i have taken to california from texas. its good stuff though and a cheap alternative. looks good.

lol sorry guys for shutting down most the ideas. its just i have most of them done already and others seem pointless to me since its strictly a street car. some might come in handy down the line after the engine/head/trans get built. ill do a lot of drag racing at the strip.

dont hesitate to throw more ideas at me though. i am completely out of them

i take it you like rexpeed.

they got some sick ****. i would love the side splats and the side skirt extensions but i dont have stock side skirts one got damaged and had to replace it with some aftermarket knockoff c west skirts i had in the garage.

anyone know what stock side skirts go for from the dealer? i have had no luck finding them used. i have searched for them for a year. that might be the best thing though. maybe i can go back to stock side skirts and do the rexpeed add ons

ill update the first post in a min...too busy saving the world from terrorist on blackops right now

Make your car fun so insure

Since you already have a healthy list of mods why not invest into your drivetrain: maybe stage 2 transfercase. if not get some lighter shoes and reduce rolling mass

That's really not that bad although I hate the side skirts. I don't know what it is about them but just don't like the way they flow. I think the cf extensions stick out further on the oem skirt also. Main reason I don't like the skirts is because they look funky on my car with stock front bumper and jdm rear. Maybe if I had a c west bumper I'd like it a little more.

IF ANY ONE HAS OEM ELECTRIC BLUE SIDE SKIRTS LET ME KNOW. I'll buy them right now

Edit: Rock..you should get the rexpeed skirt extensions. Try them out on your skirts and see if you can make it work. If not, I'll buy them off of you. Promise on that.
