Like i said not saying that is you in my previous post just what i personally associate that look with. Id rather spend my money and live on my own which was why i was out at 18 and bought a house at 19 and only now at 26 spending money on mods for my car. Its all good do what you want man its your car just giving you my .02

Most of the mods you've listed fall into the classic "ricer" category. The tuning scene has moved on substantially from the days of ill-fitting body kits, aluminum wings on a FWD car and neon lights. You also have redundancy, if you're swapping in a 4G63, the intake and exhaust are useless.

If you don't want to hear criticism, don't post on a forum, but have modding it to "be you", like the other thousands of people that have modded their cars the same way.

That's pissing money down the drain. Neither of those mods do much power wise. You're better off putting the money towards the fabrication costs of swapping in a 4G63. There's a reason why only a few people have done it.

Probably close to the value of the car. The engine isn't cheap, getting everything to fit requires some fabrication, you'll need custom parts, like exhaust, and there is of course the minor problem of wiring.

Like I said, if it was cheap and easy, everyone would be doing it.
