Husky Winter Mats
Blitz Air Filter
Rockford Fosgate 10" Amplified Sub

Tried winter tires, but the particular Hankook tire I tried totally screwed the dry handling of the car. Went back to stock.

In the next 3-6 months, I hope to do the following:

Phantom Electric Supercharger
Open Flash Tablet/Tune
Open Flash Header

I believe I got rid of the intake sound generator first...either that or removed the stock tips on the exhaust.

A uel header and a muffler delete were the first mod to mine. A little loud sometimes but I like it

I started with cosmetic mods, Greddy SP elite, Tom's tail lights and have coilovers waiting, sitting next to me as I type this. I can't help but feel as though this car was "unfinished" leaving the factory with the end user to decide how to finish it. Otherwise this would have been a $45k car.

No worries, salt on yet to be tasted food is an excellent analogy. I'm going to start with weathertech mats, paint protection, air filter and a license plate holder so I don't have to drill the grill and nose.

Next would be suspension as in a brace for the front and back, then maybe some new swaybars. I wont go nuts on it for quite a while. I need to research the autocross rules as I do want to get started doing that with this car.

Plus, learning to drive at the limit is a priority. I dont want to bolt a bunch of stuff on just because I can. I agree, that would be silly. Plus, it might foul up autocrosclassing, need to understand that.

I'm so far under these following order:
1.Opticoat within a week of ownership when the car paint is still shiny
2. Legal tint on windows and rear
3. Dual dash cam for security and insurance purpose

Boring I know but I try to maintain the car's original look as I think they look fine as it is (Aussie GTS which is the equivalent of monogram)
I might do door deadening down the track to make the stereo sound a bit better...

I plugged my sound generator today, like it a bit better, but do miss the growl. Easy enough to fix in two seconds. Thanks to FT86 folks for pointing out the 12V plug fits in there, like it was made for it....hmmmm. Has a bit of noticeable whine about 3-4k rpms on first impression.

I didn't have my car for long before the army decided to send me to school then deploy me to Korea but in the short time that I did have her I got an overpipe, stock resonator removed, noise dampen the trunk, got bigger exhaust tips cause I couldn't stand the little ones it came with and my 6k HID kit.

car came stock with the window tint

fast forward some time now and since I can't drive my car while I'm in Korea, I did buy more parts such as my rims, weathertech mats, and I'm planning on getting a turbo for my bday in July.

It begins for me....

Purchased Perrin license plate holder and shifter bushing today. Also ordered Weathertech mats.

As stated, I'll be keeping it simple for a while, but I am finding plenty of items to make long term plans. I am amazed at what is already available for these cars.
