What to add next

DAMN thats expensive, so thats out, any other suggestions?

If you don't have aftermarket headers, I'd get those if I were you. More power, better sound, and well within your budget incl. the install.

If you've already done this, then DJ's recommendation to rid your car of amber is a great idea. It really made my car look five or more years younger.

Oh, one more idea... invisible bra might not be a bad idea if your paint work is pristine right now.

Springs alone and lowering/alignment should be under $1k, right guys?
I'm all on board for clear headlights, or better yet, splurge a tad more and get Litronics.
Another idea... lose the "worm anus" tail pipe and get S exhaust.

you can get eibach springs for like 250 or so and install them yourself, then just go and get an alignment done.
you can pickup a set of clears for 400 or so on ebay.

so thats like 650 plus another 100 or so for a good alignment.
that leaves you enough to get non amber tail lights and side markers...

and headers sound good as well...just pick your priorities man

wow 25hp!!! thats awesome, the price is pretty high, but thats a option.

[NickCats]

So let me get this straight, 25 hp from the TurboWerks headers and another 18 hp from the Softronic ECU flash ?

If this is true, I know where my bonus money is going this year !

$1700 for 43 hp ???

Nick

Nick, good point, thats alot of hp, and they seem legit, if it all works out we could have 244hp

Nick,
I think someone was smoking some serious crack when they came up with those numbers. If it was really true it would be the first time in automotive history that a N.A. car gained 20%hp with chip and headers. 5-10hp has been reported consistently. Let the buyer beware.
