Default My first MODS!

Just performed my first mods, I will post pics for you guys ASAP. Here is the list of what I did so far:

Enkei V1 17" Wheels w/ Kumho 275/40/17 rubber
Drilled/Slotted Rotors & pads
Magnaflow Catback
WS9 RamAir hood from US EXOTICS (gets painted in a week)

Thats it for now, im thinking suspension stuff and headers next. And a volant cold air intake. Any other suggestions? Oh yeah, and I have about 6K worth of stereo stuff going in as soon as the factory sends the stuff to me. I will post pics of the wheels, etc asap.

All told the subs, box, and amp setup will be about 100lbs or so. Im trying to make some sort of latch down system so I can easily remove it if I ever get the ***** and go to the track.

the hatch will rattle- a lot. you might want to invest in some sub frame connectors. keeps body flex down and don't cost too much.

Check out the stickies at the top of all the forums, links in JRP's sig, and the search button as well. You'd be amazed how much you can learn. Yes, the loudmouth is a cat-back. It uses an resonator (ie glasspack, basically) as the "muffler".
