very first thing was a great alarm, got top of the line viper with pagers. makes no sense to start putting on more and more and then it gets stolen. second was tint. fromt here you should go to suspension (cause if you beef up the engine, you still have no way to drive properly with all that power). next is a decision between brakes and engine. i like to do the brakes, even though i want to drive faster (stopping being the more important of the two). lastly, the engine should be nicely broken in for a twin turbo mod...

To start ??? JK
I'd start with clear corners.

I did clear coners intake high-flow cats and plenum

It was a great way to feel it out without spending to much

I bought this car with the intention of going FI. It hasn't happened yet as I am putting cash toward a new business (coffee shop). The FI will wait till next year. As far as order of mods goes, I usually like to do wheels and stereo system right off the bat. The way I see it, it takes a little time to order wheels and get a bangin system installed. In the mean time, I get my list of desired performance & aesthetic parts selected. I take care of a few details that make the difference like tint, getting rid of yellow/orange markers (yuk). I order small performace upgrades like intake, spacer, grounding kit. I'm a junky so I have to do something small often to keep from doing something big like exhaust (full exhaust) or coilovers. Dammit, now I gotta go order something!

I started off with the cheap basic mods. clear corners, overlays and then i got a bodykit. next will be lights, tints, wheels then suspension. and when my warranty runs out ill start messing with the engine.

Wheels and suspension for me, imo wheels can make or break the car. Get a nice set of wheels and the car will look and handle 10x better.
