What are your realistic future plans?

Thanks, same to you.
Stock Sports are 18x7.5, so 245 is probably as wide as you'd want to go. I considered putting 255's on my 18x8 Coupes, and that would be squeezing them a bit. The 255's width range is 8.5-10.0", but I've heard of people putting them on without any problems. I wouldn't try it on a 7.5" wheel.
I've got an X, so I don't know if it will fit, but I'm not looking to spend too much on exhaust, and I'd like to keep it as OEM as possible. $1000 means $600 taken from something else, like coilovers. I'm only considering the HKS Sport because I love the sound. It's not really a performance mod so much as a performance/"appearance" mod. I'd like to hear the MD setup, so I'll do some looking around for a clip of it. I've got time, this one is middle of the pack as far as it's priority.
Have you considered the MD VQ exhaust? I'm going to a big meet next weekend and want to hear some of these in person to make up my mind. I got a quote from a vendor here for the HKS muffler shipped for $399, bolts right on to the middie. However, I really like what Tony's doing over at MD and the XYZ pipe and VQ is sweet but over $1000.

Mild drop my friend. I had S-Tech on my previous Acura TL, and it was ok.. I don't want to sacrifice too much of a smooth ride. Florida has plenty of rain plus some of the roads suck here as well. :/

Philips 5000K HIDs
Z-Tube
Rev-up Airbox
K&N Drop-in - I've heard good and bad things about these so not sure if I would buy one or not.
Motordyne 5/16" Spacer
Springs - Haven't decided what to do for sure yet. Want a mild drop so my options are Z/Coupe, Coupe/Coupe, or the Coupe/Sedan Sport setup Buckeye mentioned above.
OEM Wheels - Sedan Sport or Coupe
Black painted roof - Will probably only do this if I have extra cash laying around or I get hail damage and insurance pays for it.
Altima Exhaust Tips - Wouldn't mind having the HKS muffler, but don't really want my exhaust to be any louder than stock.
05-06 RWD Sedan brakes - Would probably only do this if I found a used set for cheap.
That's all I can think of for now, but I'm sure I'm leaving something out.

In this order:
Twin Turbo
Widebody/Color Change/Wheels
Air Ride Suspension
Oh wait, this is supposed a realistic list...haha!
My near term plans are -
1. Re-Tint my windows (probably 20% F/R)
2. More engine bay stuff (always working on this!)
3. Rear bumper lip (not sure which one yet, nismo, wald, stillen, custom??)

#38
Motordyne 5/16 Copper Iso-Thermal Spacer
Stillen Intake/Z-tube
Some kind of Exhuast
Painted Headlights (Im scared and inexperienced )
Lower on G/Z springs and not blow my struts
I would like a different drop, but the struts and such on the X are flimsy as hell
Bestswat, will the Motordyne exhaust (XYZ pipe and dual tip) system fit the X? As far as i know, the only options for the X are an axleback or Stillen's Catback. Theres another option but its single tip and i forget the name, but single tip isnt my style. Anyone know if it will fit or have anything in my list for sale ? Thanks

Realistic list, sorta in order, sorta not:
STS Turbo Kit + Gauges
Retint Windows (Darker)
Stillen Engine Dampener
Paint Wheels Black (Powercoat or DYI, haven't decided yet)
Paint Calipers Blue (To match my rotors)
Full Exterior Detail
Aluminum Pedals
Grounding Kit
It's sad, I've spent nearly as much on my car on aftermarket parts as I have on the car itself. Modding is such an expensive hobby...
There's other things of course I want to do too, but can't see myself doing in the near future because I have no money. Upgrade engine rods, upgraded tranny cooler, body kit.
