Alright guys, I never did a formal introduction here I just kind of jumped into the forums but I want to know if I made the right decision here. I love my coupe can't say for a minute that I don't.

I had ordered my coupe and got it in March.
06' 6MT DG
I got everything I could minus the aero package which it's primarily because I didn't like the look of the spoiler.

Do you guys think I wasted my money on the Rear activated Steering Package?

Also I wanted to pick your brains to see what engine mods I can do to start off with. I've looked into the Polished Intake but want to make sure I can use the stock filter because it catches way more contaminants than the after market filters. Dirt just messes everything up.

I also wanted to add just the rear mud guards to the back of the car, since it doesn't really look necessary in the front. I think the back would complete the bumper and keep the car looking clean.

Options guys what do you think I should do next?

Oh yeah I'm tinting this weekend... probably medium, may get dark if I feel good about it.

 

injen cai...clear or black side markers...chnger all ur ionterior bulbs to hyper white....upgrade head lights bulbs...bosy kit....spacer...mrev2....tinted windowsn...rims.....springs or susp "tein"
so much......

 

hey at least i'm on the right path. LOL I did the lighting mods first. Although I didn't change my H1's with an expensive bulb I rarely use fogs.

got the clears, changed all my interior lights, LEDS in the parking lights, side markers and turn signal. Tints next, probably this weekend... Rims will be last with the drop so I can see how the two look together.

I think I'm more interested right now in performance mods... I'll look into the CAI but I don't think it allows me to keep the stock filter.

 

i wish i had what you had. i didn't want the nav becuse i thought it would be a waste of money and the more cars i see with it the more i wish i got it.

i don't know about the active steering thing, i've heard good and bad about it.

i've put a rouge short shifter on mine, tint, and clear corners. next i'll be putting tein s-techs on it and swaybars, in the future an MREV kit. I'm not really too sure about cold air intakes, exhaust, or headers since i've yet to see some solid numbers saying that they actually do anything.

 

to me the car handles great with RAS but I couldn't tell you how it drives without it. I definitely love the nav, you know us guys never stopping for directions right? haha, no need to stop anymore plus the conversion kit to play dvd's is sweet, people trip out when the screen pops up out of the dash.. i love the ooohs and aaahhhs. The sales guy tried to sell me one off of the lot without nav and offered to give me a killer deal but I was adament about the nav. I couldn't find all the options i wanted on the car in D/G so I ordered it. Came in super quick too like if they had one already in transit.

 

first thing you need to do is decide whether or not your going to go FI in the future because you dont want to buy mods that you will have to replace again.........to start go with headers, test pipes, pulleys, and exhaust.........search for more info on all

 

I'm just not impressed with the bolt on mods, FI is pretty costly.
Honestly that may be the best route for me to go eventually. I'm in no rush to do it but I would love to get a plan going soon.

 

"All Xenon Interior Lights ~ LED Turn Signal / Side Marker / City Lights - KP WindowUp Mod "

can you explain some of this stuff in your sig? what lights did you swap out, and what's the window mod?

 

mad, all the lights that come on when you enter your car are hyper xenon gas charged lamps that I bought at a car show. license plate lamps included.

on the 06 city lights I changed those to the 5 LED wide angle hyper white, including the side marker which is hella bright. for the 7440 turn signal lamp instead of the amber color I changed it to the 13 LED hyper white.

The KPtechnologies window up mod allows me to use my keyfob to roll the windows up so I can do it outside of the car, it's sweet.
