Check the vendor's section in the marketplace. The spacers and MREV are in the engine-FS section.

and where can i get black side lights ?
To make the car sound better you could get the motordyne spacer, oem z-tube, hfc's, and an exhaust. The best bang for buck is the spacer.

As for the side markers, I opened mine up and painted them black, but you could get them on ebay or get some overlays.

Welcome to Driver tlee....!

It's not over yet tlee, you'll get many more opinions before this thread passes. A good place to start is by reading the sticky at the top of this page then you can decide yourself where you want spend your $. I more or less started under the hood with intake and then MotorDynes spacer then 4 different exhaust systems. Two were sponsored and I didn't like either of them, one because it was used and the other because it was a Magnaflow single....Should have bought the HKS to begin with!

Hey whats up guys, does the HKS hi power exhaust come with or without the test pipes or cat? Im looking to buy the complete set-up the whole stainless steel piping, test pipes and dual hks hi power exhaust system... Does it come with a cat or does the test pipe replace the cat? Can anyone refer me to someone who would sell the complete system? full stainless steel, test pipes n hks exhaust? Thanks

The exhaust alone just is from the cat back. If you are getting Test Pipes, those will take the place of your oem cats. Almost all vendors that sell those exhaust sell hfc's or test pipes just look in the vendor classifieds under exhaust.

I don't know about HKS, but Fast Intentions offers a discount when you order them together

Why not suspension then power? You'd be surprised how much faster through the twisties a car with suspension can be than a car with bolt-on power adders.

You could go with a 5/16" or 1/2" Motordyne spacers. I would suggest the 5/16" as the gains are across the line. I used duplicolor for the side markers. It is a bit of pain to get them open.
