I would say wheels and tires

the revisions of a couple exhausts are coming out so you can get more choice if you wait.

I would throw on some rims and tires first its a much bigger performance mod than just an exhaust tho I agree with JSK exhaust changes how you feel about the car for sure. stock exhaust is inspiring to me at all.

Unless you drive on highways and freeways alot, clear bra wouldn't be necessary. If you do drive on highways occasionally, just don't tailgate and you'll be fine.

Rocks don't fly... People just follow too close to cars and trucks in front...

completely agree

clear bra only last so long as well so unless you have the cash to keep reapply it then its not really worth it. adjusting your driving will be more effective and last much much longer

yea i havent had a clear bra before, and i see you guys' point. I guess i was just scared to get those rock chips at front like when i first bought my integra and i had to resolve getting it painted.
man having the whole body painted costs a lot of money.

If the weather didn't look like it is going to rain tomorrow I would have suggested heading up to squamish or whistler for lunch. However, as it stands it looks like it would be a dark, wet drive tomorrow. Although, wet can certainly be fun

I'm free till about 4:00 though so let me know if you wanna do something.
