Can you recommend me what to mod next?
I seem to have a problem with modding lol. I enjoy modding and DIY but have run out of ideas what to do next. What do you think would provide the most benefit for the money besides the following I already have. Keep in mind this is my DD and if I track it it will only be on rare occasions. And not headers, don't want additional noise.
1) Tsudo Cat-Back Exhaust 2) K&N Drop-in Filter 3) Winjet Headlights w/ Always on mod 4) Opti-coated 5) 35/20 Tint 6) OFT tuned 7) OEM Audio+ Reference 400CF w/ Sound Deadening in door, trunk, rear quarter panels, roof liner, etc. 8) LED DRL strips 9) JPM Coachworks Kneepads on both sides 10) Backup Camera 11) Dash Camera hardwired in 12) LED license plate frames 13) JDM Clear corners 14) TRD Shift Knob 15 kinda) Pentosin Transmission fluid and Motul 300 differential fluid swap Right now my number one thing I'm waiting for is the Phantom electric super charger since it's good performance per dollar but still waiting for the next batch. Rims? Shifter bushings? Leather wraps? Brakes? What provided the most value for you?

I'm trying to ride out my tires before I swap to new rims and tires. For coilovers I'm a lil worried it'll change the feel of the ride too much.

eibach sportlines if you're worried about coilovers being harsh. The sportlines ride only a little bit firmer than stock and give the car a great ride height.
![]() and +1 on the over pipe and front pipe. I would advise getting headers I know you said no to that, but headers and full exhaust plus the OFT (which you already have) stage 2 tune really make the car feel alive and how it should have been from factory |

I just finished headers, front pipe, over pipe, axleback, which is a nice change.
Currently rebuilding lexus IS300 diff with 4.56 ratio. Should have it in by Saturday. Kind of a fun mod if you are a DIY kind of guy. It's a bit pricey though if you don't already have the tools. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=54054 |

Forgot to mention this one, already have it done ![]() Haha I probably don't but I like to keep my eyes forward on something in the future. Not saying I would buy it immediately but it's nice to have in sights.
