next mod...

well spring is almost here which means its time for a new mod. Soon, the new wheels, front lip and tinted tails go on. I have my next mod narrowed down to three. IMPUL springs (still dont if i should drop//really worth the money?), Tanabe exhaust (worth the money? rattles?), Ravspec roof spoiler. This g is a daily driver and I want to keep it simple, clean and classy. I am not heavily modifying this car. This three mods are the extent of what I will do. What do you all think should be next?

Exhaust, I went with performance exhaust first because you can enjoy them while you're behind the wheel! Well tanabe is not really a performance mod but the sound you get is great. springs and wheels and stuff is really more for other people lol.

Roof spoiler, clean and subtle. But I didn't want to add my roof spoiler till my car was dropped. They both compliment the car and keep it clean and simple.

Springs. You're gonna wish you dropped the b*tch when you have your roof spoiler and other crap installed, while your car is looking like it's ready to go off roading...

You've got a tough decision ahead of you, San... My first inclination was to tell you to go with the IMPUL's and drop it, but I really don't think it's worth spending $600 - $700 for springs, so I would say, go with the Tanabe Medalion exhaust.... IMO you just can't go wrong with that mod.... it looks great, is cake to install, and sounds amazing!! I absolutely love mine!

The rattle is not from the Exhaust it's from the HFCs i'm sure.

Nope, I don't get any sound like that with my exhaust at all, San. I'm certain the resonance that Clement is getting is either from the HFC's or possibly a loose heat shield on his resonators. I also know that he had issues with that sound before he even installed the exhaust, but after he installed the HFC's, so it's not related to the exhaust.

WooHoo.. Awesome deal! You won't be dissappointed. I'm loving mine so far and just hoping that the sounds doesn't change too much when I install the Berks.

I was just out at Riverside today chatting with Rick and he said that he talked to you the other day... said you were trying to trade him your Stillen spoiler for a factory one. LOL
