Build - "A more spirited DD in all aspects - with minimal impact to upkeep

Hi guys, after a lot of reading and research, I finally figured out a goal build to attain. Primary goal of the car is "A more spirited DD in all aspects - with minimal impact to upkeep"

Agree, especially with the 17 models. They changed a lot of things that most people were changing out anyways on top of the shorter gearing; it makes it more exciting to drive. For a DD you would not need much, just personal touches.

Do a UEL header and a tune, to give a bit more power and fix the torque dip, and whatever suspension mods and appearance mods you desire. I did a UEL header and an OFT and I plan to do window tint, and a gloss black vinyl wrap on the roof. Mine is the series yellow with the performance package so it's already got cooler wheels, better brakes, and the better shocks. I really have no other plans for mine yet. Only had it 3 months though, so we'll see what else I decide to do or change later on.
