This will really be the first car that I have ever modified in any way, so I am going to take it slow and do what I feel I can handle. It is my daily driver so I will have to keep the weekend projects managable. I am pretty happy currently with the performance, and most of the mods I am looking at doing are primarily cosmetic, with some mild performance gains (mainly tires). I am looking to personalize the car a bit while keeping it really clean. I am sure others are in similar situations, as far as experience goes, so i'll try to be honest and clear about how hard things are for me to complete and how long they take so that others can learn from my mistakes. So far the feedback on this forum has been great, so I will continue to ask for advise and look to other's experiences as learning tools.
I will also be potentially looking at some performance mods as I get used to the car.. but I am going to keep researching before making any more substantial moves in that direction.
So far, I am in love with this car! :drool:
Cosmetic Mods:
Color matched side markers
R LED tinted Tails
OEM color matched front lip
Tint 30% all the way around - don't like the minivan look.
Red LED footwell lights
Plaid vinyl rear hatch emblem insert, steering wheel insert, rear view mirror
wrap, wrapped license plate frame
Seat handle inserts
Performance Mods:
DG springs. (have on hand just have to install)
Unibrace XB
Unibrace UB
