Post a pic of your ride. It will help us to let you know what you can to it. Before you start changing stuff I'd make sure the car is up to date tune up wise. How many miles are on it?

Get this short shift kit,flip the shaft 180 degrees and your car will be a lot sportier

For looks, get new lights all the way around. It will make the car look 5 years newer!

- Litronic Headlights (or possibly clear halogens) $600-1300
- Smoked side markers $40
- Red/Clear factory tail lights $170

For performance, tires and performance driving school.

Hey Blinkwatt,

what do you mean by, "flip the shaft 180 degrees"? When you do the install, put it in backwards? I'm thinking about getting SSK as well. Just wondering what that means.

Thanks

The piece of metal that has a nut and bolt going through it. Loosen the nut,flip it 180 degrees and the shift kit feels like the $300 Porsche one.
