nice

Hey once again congrats for finding the car. with the right touch you can bring out the color in an exotic way. here are things to consider.

exterior: litronics, smoked corners, updated tail lights (or even the LED ones). smoked third brake light, cayman style spoiler, rear diffuser, bumper plugs, your choice of front bumper and sideskirts, some nice wheels to offset the brakes and your color, gemballa side vents.

all this will look sick with your hardtop

Interior: you want the aluminum/leather or carbon look. Paint your dash strips silver, get a silver center console or carbon, leather airbag for your steering wheel, nice floor matts, trafffic pro with aux Ipod connector, nice aluminum shift knob, handbrake. thats a start.

Suspension: get H&R springs if you want looks and handling. if you want a lil more get PSS9. also get spacers for a more aggressive look.

power: evo intake, sport exhaust

when you change the clutch look for a limited slip for cheap.


anyways that should keep you busy for a while

I was thinking how smokin' the whole center console would look in Orient Red. Maybe you could do a few other accent pieces as well, but not too many, so it wouldn't look gaudy.

Orient red is a stand out color. There's no way to be stealth in that car. I don't remember who makes the SSR replicas that David J had on his car, but they would be hot in 19s like he had. Lots of airspace to let those big red calipers breathe.
