What's next?

Looking at my mods, Ive completed my two main goals which were wheels and exhaust. A BBK and maybe FI are both in the future but neither will happen for a while. Im trying to figure out what to do next. The G is my everyday driver, gas mileage isnt something to worry about as Ive gotten used to high gas prices and bad mileage.

Im currently working with Bluebat on some overlays but Id like something else to do after that too.

My options in no specific order..

1. Sway bars - I dont really tend to throw my car into corners or curves but its a relatively cheap upgrade(roughly $300) that will improve the handling and stability.

2. Sub/amp/box/headunit(?) - I dont crank my music much especially after just getting my new Injen exhaust but I wouldnt mind some extra punch

3. ???

Im going for the classy look and want to keep it clean. Id rather not do body kits as I feel that the oem lines of the G are smooth and curvy.

Some quick pictures



Any suggestions are welcome and thanks in advance.

Headers are a possibility, especially after seeing pictures of the stock headers. But correct me if Im wrong, a lot of labor is involved in the installation of the headers.

As for test pipes, those will increase hp and torque and decrease the weight correct? Are they street legal? Will they pass CA's tough smog and carb regulations?

Thanks

yes a lot of labor is involved in header install and yes it is pricey also.........if you are worried about smog and carb then go with high flow cats instead of test pipes

HFC's..how much do you typically gain from them?

What about appearance? Not much I can do besides body kits and a spolier I suppose...

And the interior, all I can really do is new seats, which is not an option, I love the stock seats and a video screen and system. Or am I forgetting something?
