They were on the car when I purchased it, so I'm not sure if they are stock or not, I don't believe so.

As for the exhaust, I'll probably look to keep the stock exhaust on it but yes I'm looking to get a deeper note especially at low-mid RPM's.

Idk man in person it looks very clean.

I don't pick the car up until saturday morning but here is another pic zoomed a bit. I agree I think they are the stock projectors with some LEDs lined up in there. Could always cover them up with some white eyelids lol.




Anyways, I'm not too worried about the headlights/taillights for now I think they look nice for the time being. What should be the first performance mod I complete?

1. MD spacers
2. Berks HFC

Yea this car is going to be my daily driver so I don't want to do too much to it, just basic mods.

So I guess as far as the spacer and hfc goes, I won't need a tune right?

Anyways I might be better off getting a tune, almost at 100k miles could use some new spark plugs etc..what do you think?

youre thinking tune up- like the tune up you see advertised like at a midas for example.

this will be an actual tune done by a pro. Uprev is the name of this, and that which youre looking for.

Stock exhaust with HFC is the worst possible sound.

Yea I mean over time. Not exactly on the highest of budgets right now lol.

For a decent exhaust with a nice note I'm looking at least $1k, plus $400+ for the HFC's.

So I guess over time, I'm just looking for some small things to do to it off the bat that aren't crazy expensive like the spacer and intake. For the time being I'll just stick with what I have and the spacer.

The spacer is DIY right? I heard it only takes an hour or 2 to install.

Maybe the nismo exhaust?

yeah no rush.
the stock note is fine as it is.

the spacer is simple, too, and the instructions are easy to follow.
