Those are the first wheels I've seen that I liked without lips. You do need projectors, those OE light look terrible! That and a Nismo bumper and you'll be good for another 3 years Nacho....

My next purchase will be the UO underdrive pulley set next week. My car has been lagging low end and I think that is exactly what I need right now. I'll probably get a front bumper before the projectors since they're way more money than either of the aforementioned mods.

Have you looked into an exhaust if your still stock? Getting a nice exhaust makes driving a lot funner and feels like a whole new car

You know, I have been completely neglecting an exhaust. At this point, I'd rather get performance mods before bumpers/projectors. UO pulley set is first, than I'll look in to a used exhaust in the MP

You know how your car sounds when you floor it when it's still cold? It's extra loud and deep? I want an exhaust that sounds like that all the time.

Nacho, car looking good bro. Okay, yes, if you are bored of it, it's time for a new mod IMO. I'd definitely do the 06 headlights or at least a wet sand and/or plastx. maybe get something in the interior so you can see every time you drive it ex. ipod connection, new shift ***...... GL, but don't sell your baby!!!!

Some people don't like it, but check out Borla exhaust. It sounds just like what you're looking for.

I suppose I just needed some motivation to mod and now I'm pretty over selling it. I'll wet sand my headlights for now until I am done with some performance mods like exhaust and pulleys, then I'll try and find a trade+cash deal on some projectors. I got a lot of stuff to save up for now, lol. Still gotta roll my fenders and buy spacers, too.

The pulley set is a mistake Nacho, any gains are over shadowed by conditions detrimental to your engine. Spend that same $ on a tune up and she'll be much happier and last longer....

From what I've read is that since they're lighter and bigger, they have less drag, spin slower, therefore reducing the juice to the alternator and pumps etc, but increasing the power it can make. And if it's not balanced right (rotation vs power), it can cause engine damage. What would cause the pulleys to go out of balance? I think I'll make a new thread in the coupe section for this incase people want to know.

Nacho, from what I can tell you're the only one that doesn't know or isn't aware what kind of damage larger aftermarket pulleys can cause....
