I can't agree more...

enjoy the car... get her down to concourse level. That will keep you busy for a long time.

I'm not a CF person so that's out. I guess I could paint the rear center console.
What, no clear side markers? You forgot the best mod. Get those and you'll be done.

That's why I'm not doing these things. I bet you wouldn't see 20 hp gain for that $4,000.

Autocross and track to see what your car can really do (especially with the mods). Then you'll get the bug and really spend money on the car. Muwwwhahahaha! Join the rest of us afflicted.

Take those same $$ and put them into a driver upgrade, most of us (especially me) will never be able to drive our cars well even in stock form let alone highly modified.

In my eye's mods are never done! Keep surfing the web and you'll find something else someone designed for your car! But the main thing, like everyone says, "Enjoy the damn thing"! If you truly get bored, the only other thing to do is sell and start all over again!! I cant count how many times my friends and i have done that! Or like someone else said buy a boat! You'll need to fix it before and after you go out!!! But honestly your car looks great! doin a great job!

Berk, I will post some pics. I got them used from a guy in NJ. I'm always looking for a bargain! I just put them on today and have some rubbing in the front when I turn the wheel all the way. I didn't expect that, the offsets should work. However my car is pretty low, and I went from 18's to 19's. I'm going to have to figure this out.

Tempting, but getting that past the wifey is tricky.
