yah....im trying to figure out what i want to do...Im a motorcycle guy so I'm not going to do the whole "fast and furious" look and what not....this is more of my luxary, semi good mpg, pick up the ladies car.

But i do want to hear the engine a bit more...if 0 is stock and 10 is HKS full system, i want it to be about 2-3. Just enough to make those mustangs understand whats in the hood.

I was thinking intake system and test pipes....but will that kill the nice infiniti tone?

1.) a nice intake system....black or carbon wrap color..not 350z componites...200-300 budget
2.) HID system...i honestly havent even played with the lights yet but i dont like that fog light? or whatever that light is right by the regular HID light.
3.) i dont like that amber light in the headlamp...is there a way i can clear it? or maybe smoke it?
4.) JDM turnsignals...im making a led board for when i get them in...cant decide if i want White LEDS or Amber...not sure of the legality
5.) brake pads...not sure what to put in.
6.) Small sub...not sure what to do..i keep seeing this infiniti sub box but eh
7.) It has alittle rust underneath..not sure what to do about it

besides that i cant think really what else id do! =) I like the stock sleeper look

Stillen exhaust is perfect, deeper growl than stock, not too loud, step on it and they will know. Compliment it with an intake, z tube and pop charger sound good, however, I love my injen CAI sounds cool.

If you don't like the amber in the headlights, get '06 headlights, the foglight's amber color is almost non-existent on them. Also, get clear corners for the side markers, and keep the white bulbs, they're almost the same as amber bulbs in comparison. As for an intake, the stillen is probably the only intake that wont lose power, but isn't very loud compared to injen/jwt.

And yeah, as mentioned above, stillen exhaust is probably the closest to stock you can get, but has the howl when you need it.

Amen! and thank god. so many dudes on here slowly cross the line into "a swamp grass that is widely cultivated as a source of food, esp. in Asia."
