New to forums, first G, would like your input on my mods
I am going to Chicago on friday to pick up my first G, an 04 sedan with 6mt + nav and I think SAT. I am very excited and cant wait to start adding things to it. I would love if I can get input on my future plans for the car (I have already exhausted the search button) ha.
First things I plan on buying are the
Stillen hiflow air kit
clear corners
And then after I save more money i'm going to tint the windows to about 20% (Good amount or no)?
Then Plenum Spacers (I am actually not entirely sure what these do, or wheter I should get the 1/2'' or the 5/16''. Any suggestions?
And one of the most important features for me is ipod integration as well. I have been reading that people are getting the song info on the nav screen and that would be amazing if I could do that. I have read the most about the USA Spec so I am thinking about going with that.
My questions regarding this are does this allow for song info on the screen and video on the nav (with parking break on) And any other thoughts on this would be awesome.
Finally I am thinking about lowering the car and buying stillen sways.
Other than that I cant think of much else to do with the car so If I could get some feedback on these and other possibilities that would be great.
I will post pictures as soon as I get my G
Thanks!

You didn't mention wheels I say do your suspension and wheels at the same time. The plenum spacer is a good idea for the 6mt tranny but I'm not 100% sure if the 2004 6mt was considered Rev up like the 2006. The 5/16 is the most popular and gives you slightly less gains over the 1/2 spacer plus you get to keep your engine cover. With a black car I highly recommend tinted windows it will look great with 20% but is it legal in your area? Clear side markers are inexpensive but I think the next big thing is going to be the custom Led sidemarkers being sold by kyazh check out the link below. The sides may be pricey though compared to your other modds. Another suggestion is painting your body moldings body color but with a black car it's not a must.

Yea, I should have mentioned, my car is silver ha, and for tinting laws, I live in Ks where its 35% across the board, but I go to school in Miami florida where its 28%front 15%rear.. I wasnt sure if the police really cared about tinting that much.. and all I know about the wheels right now is they are 17s
Those led corners are pretty sweet too, i might have to check those out..

Yea, maybe its just me but i'm not too into wheels and tires, they look cool and all but i not ready to spend that much money on them. I'd much rather work on performance mods and low cost jobs like clear corners and a ztube.
As for ipod configs, has anyone fit their USA Spec to go into a dock in the ashtray? I have seen pictures of it and I think it looks really cool. Also with the USA Spec, can you also control the ipod with the actual ipod or only through the stereo?

I'd drop it first and then put some wheels 19's minimum. As far as tint I like for people to see the driver behind the wheel of the sexy car so I wouldn't really think about tint. After the minimal exterior things are done I would focus on areo features such as lips and performance and oops cant forget the audio.
