06 projectors, paint your wheels black. There is nothing wrong with painting stock wheels black...I think the stock wheels look really nice painted and people who say it looks cheap just have too much money to waste...Plus get the windows tinted.

Don't listen to these fools that tell you to dump the car or add spacers.
........I totally agree, that's what us educated folks call common sense. Stay within your budget and get the best mods for your $$.

You guys are always awesome. Gary your my favorite for sure, honest friendly advice. One more quick question about the HFC's. The berks seems the way to go but was wondering if it will be raspy at all with the combination of the MD 5/16th. Wouldn't mind a lower stock sound because I'm not doing a cat back exhaust for awhile but I def don't want any rasp.


Thanks again!

maybe get your wheels for that amount. Everything I've done on my car was waaaayyyy much more. MREV2 is about the only possible option, but that's if you install it yourself. Good luck with your choice. Not a cheap car to buy or mod. GL with your choice.

I've never heard an exhaust system with HFCs that had much/any rasp, that sound usually comes from cheap azz test pipes that aren't chambered. Oh by the way, Berks w/b my next mod and I don't expect any rasp with my HKS system. Thanks for the compliment Platelock....
