Spring time plans

Well it's time think about what to do to my car in the spring... These are plans that I got in mind so far...

Genuine leather shifter/E-brake boots and armrest from Red Line Accessories
Genuine leather door inserts
Black housing with clear corners headlights
Paint some my interior black
CAI from mpracing
Flowmater 80 series from mpracing
Flow master cat from mpracing
3' exhaust tips
20% tint and 5% for rear window
Debadging the car

I'm buying some of these during the winter so I can get for the spring time.

Worthless
Worthwhile


Genuine leather shifter/E-brake boots and armrest from Red Line Accessories
Genuine leather door inserts
Black housing with clear corners headlights
- why replace something that works?
Paint some my interior black
CAI from mpracing
Flowmater 80 series from mpracing - Get piping from cat to the muffler
Flow master cat from mpracing
3' exhaust tips
-only worthwhile if they're the right ones and there are two on each side
20% tint and 5% for rear window - meh, neither good or bad
Debadging the car - free mod

I have HIDs in stock housing and they have a mean glare. Black housing won't have that. The 3' exhaust tips will have 2 on both sides. I havent found the tips the I really like yet.

Thought so because you can't get them there any more. I'm always looking on eBay tho just in case.

Not exactly. The black housings make the light output lower and the pattern a little different, but they still glare a bit and the light pattern sucks! I should know, I have HID's in those exact headlights on my car right now. They really need projectors.

Also flowmaster doesn't make a cat. You can get a magnaflow or a vibrant cat from MP racing. 3" tips might not look bad if they are the right style, but really 2.5" is all you need and would look better. I wouldn't tint the windows quite so dark either. Makes them very hard to see out at night, and it's just asking to get harassed by the cops.

Can I still use my HIDs for the projector headlights??? I love my HIDs because I do alot of counntry driving. I don`t really want give them up for stock bulbs... If I do go towards projectors this are the ones I want with HIDs. http://www.ilovebodykits.com/product...alo_Black.html

Yeah I don't think you can. The current projector headlights available use a different type of bulb so you'd have to get a different HID kit. Those projectors aren't actually designed for HID's either though. I'm going to eventually get some factory HID projectors from another car and retro-fit them. My current head lights don't shine much further down the road than my fogs. Not a big problem in city driving but bad where it is dark out.
