Beyond that, Minor exterior touches go a long way when done correctly. A subtle lip, or spoiler can really make all the difference.
I saw the TRD Parts but have heard mixed reviews on the performance of them. Also, I know a lot of people delete the sound tube, but I LIKE the sound tube. I listen to my car a lot when I am driving to know where my revs are at for shifting and such. I also like hearing the noise in the cabin lol.

Can you recommend some parts? I was thinking of doing the HPS intake tube, with a PERRIN drop in filter in the stock box. I heard that helps a bit. Also, when doing exhaust and Intake do I need to flash the cpu? I don't even know how to do that or what that does.

As for body stuff, I want the WORK CR-KAI in Bronze, I'm obsessed with those wheels. I don't know jack about offsets and all of that either. I was probably going to stick with 17" unless everyone thinks 18" is worth it.

Other question I had was about slightly lowering the vehicle. I don't want to do any serious suspension mods, so the Eibach pro-kit looked attractive to me......do I need to purchase the alignment kit with it too? See I don't know anything about any of this. What are the positives and negatives to lowering it....I do not want a huge drop. 1.0" max is all I would want, just to get rid of the gap a bit.
