New to modding any suggestions

I have a silver 03 g coupe
6 speed man. trans.
New to modding so i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to what I should do. I have been looking at exhaust systems and some carbon fiber parts. Im quite fond of the carbon fiber trunk. The car looks like it has tint but it only has tint on the top of the wind shield.
thanks

Welcome to DRIVER....nice coupe!

You need to begin with an intake/z-tube, a new exhaust system won't be as effective if you're not getting the air in. Replace the OE cats with BERK'S HFCs, that's where the restriction is. Having an '03 MotorDynes 5/16" spacer is a good idea. Now attend a few meets in your area and listen to other members exhaust systems and ask questions. This way you'll hear a system you like and know where to get it. All the vids on exhaust systems aren't like hearing it in person! You seriously like the way c/f would look on you silver coupe or do you just like the shape of the trunk lid? Keep it clean and simple, the patch work quilt look doesn't work....
Gary

^ No don't do that... Id say z-tube, MD plenum spacer, HFCs or Test Pipes, Exhaust, and tune.. That should be plenty for HP/TQ mods.. Visually Id search the forums and see what you like and when your ready contact a vendor on here.

This wheels and a nice drop will have you looking good. But for performance bolt ons there isn't alot that are reasonably priced IMO

Nothing over the top
I don't want to put down a couple grand for something that's not a major performance increase.

then don't bother. if all u want is major performance gains then you only have one choice- Force Induction. unfortunately for our cars that will be around 10k.

Like said before, big numbers come with a big price tag. Just do the basic boltons
non performance wise there are plenty of good and "affordable" mods on a moderate budget. It just depends on what you want out of your G
