That sounds so difficult to do, I changed the whole look of the car after 3 months

Is it brand spankin new? If so, I'd drive for a while just in case you have any warranty issues that need attention. Some (not all) dealers can be pricks to work with if you've modded the car and they deem the mods. caused your problem.

Agreed. I didn't change that much but I knew what mods I wanted well before I bought this car. I was stock for about a month lol. My last car I didn't research the mods before I bought it and then I realized there weren't that many parts available and I was never completely happy with the end result.

Now I before I buy a car, I gotta check its forum to see what parts are available and how I'm gonna make the finished product. Cause there's no way I'm driving stock. Even if I had a Lambo Aventedor, I would probably still look for something to mod lol

Well what do you want to do with the car?

Are you going to do any racing (autocrossing and/or tracking), or is it just going to be something you drive on the street to shows, meets, and cruises?

The answers to those two questions will let us know if you're looking more for function mods or bragging rights mods.

I hope that doesn't come off as me sounding like a ****, it's just important to know what you want to get out of your mods.

I'd say hold off on the turbo, unless it's something you're really prepared for.
Personally, I like the car with the few mods I have.
Tires, a catless header, and custom tuning will definitely make it feel like a different car for around that price, while still being reliable.

What kind of headers do you have? As far as Tuning what are you using to tune?
Do you have a CAI?
