    they arent that bad.. looks like u got the basic's covered, header,exaust and intake.... later on u might wanna get the rrm piggyback ecu...<--

    for cosmetics... lots of ways like no wing o a rexspeed low profile lip, evo7 style tails, backed out headlights or get cedia's headlights [ look nicer ] . body kit like a evo7 kit [ 2 types one that uses stock hood and one that doesnt ] cf hood or trunk but cf trunk like 500 lol....

    im a cheapskae myself, i started with the headlights and tails, then the short ram to evo wing then to the wheels and tires <-- expensive one so far and stopped their when i lost my 15//hr job at sdg&e *edit it was 15/r lol

    wheels and tires set me back 1200$ ordered from falken directly included balancing and all the rest

    i stopped buying things for my car temp untill i get a better job than working at office depot

    Looks like you're off to a good start...just a quick tip though...watch the shipping on ebay. Some sellers price stuff way cheap, then charge ten times what it really cost to ship. That echaust really shouldn't cost more than 50 bucks to ship. i just shipped a hood for a buddy of mine...box was 5foot by 5foot by 6inches and weighed 49lbs....only cost me 74 bucks to get it from alabama to seattle, wa.

    With headers, the main thing you need to worry about is the welds. Sometimes the welds will rust, eventually causing a weak spot where a crack could come up. One other thing that you want to look for is if the material is stainless or not. If its not, see what type of coating it has to inhibit any rust from forming.

    not that it isnt good, you could go that route if money was an issue, for me being in socal i choose the aem one since its carb legal/smog exempt so i can pass emmisions.. hell i could of gone "ebay" route but i dont like wasting money if i cant pass smog. gotta pay to play in cali

    so i got headlights last week that looks like this.

    [​IMG]

    is there any way i can take off the blinker light from the the left end and move it all the way to the right? if anyone else has this plz help. I want to do this because there is just an open space on the other end for light and i think the blinker would look better on that side and i could put HID on the small circle on the right. im sorry if im not explaining this right lol.

    Where did you get those heads from? Is there any way I could still buy them, or is it a discontinued product or something like that?
