I have no idea about the spring combo.


As far as exhaust, it just have the stock one on it now. My Magnaflows should arrive any day now as well as my SS Spoiler.

I need to get some wheels, but I don't know what I want..

Here would be my suggestion: 17x9.5 & 17x11 Chrome ZR1's with any kind of 315mm tire. Then polish your headlights to make them look new again and do the whisler mod on them. Your car will look so menecing with those and the spoiler

How do you do the headlights? Cause mine look pretty bad in person. I was actually thinking about the ZR1's. 17x11 wouldn't be too big?

There's a sticky in here somewhere on "de-hazing" your headlights. 17x11 only on the rear. Car looks awesome. Chrome ZR1s would be a great choice. Can't wait to see it after the spoiler, exhaust and wheel upgrade.

He wanted to know how to do the whistler mod and that involves opening up the headlight housing, the thread you linked is just to sand down and polish the headlamp covers.

I am thinking about getting a hood, but I am not sure. I do know the dents in mine need to be taken out if I plan on sticking with it.
