First mod suggestions?...

Post by a1j7g »

dont waste your money on an intake. check corsport for mods on the 8th gens. I went jackson racing s/c set up on my 08 Mugen. I would do a drop and wheels then HFP lip kit. Maybe HIDS and JDM red badges and tint for a couple hunderd bucks

yeah, the stock airbox isn't bad, and unless you get some sort of bypass for the CAI you will need to be very careful in wet weather. If you MUST have an intake, don't go balls out.

personally, I'd do:

Tint (my preference)
Torque Dampner (I like the Ingalls)
Suspension (More than 1.5")
Wheels (I had 18" Mugen GP)
FlashPro.

After that, you can go whatever direction you want performance-wise. IHE, Boost, whatever. I've got a buddy down here with a black FA5 with my old Gunmetal Work XD9 and they look great on the black. Murdered out looks too plain IMO.

First things first...

So, due to lack of funds, I started cheap...

I got some HID lights from DDM and I am VERY happy with the look and light output that they are giving. they have a pretty decent cutoff line and don't seem to be giving other drivers any issues w/ blinding them. (easy for me to say)

DDM HID Kit, 55W, 8000K

I've found that the 8000k light output is almost pure white since I went with the 55W (instead of the 35). Has a bit of a bluish hint to it but nothing that would make the setup look odd or out of the ordinary.

I will be getting a weighted shift knob next. I have abandoned the idea of tinting anything and am starting to look at some new wheels.

Also, does anyone have thoughts on window shades? (the wind/rain guards that kind of hang over your windows). I have seen them on other Sedan Black SI's and think they look pretty good.

Thanks for all of your suggestions. *Someday FlashPro will be in my budget! :happy2:
