Wow, I was gonna say to go turbo but ya beat me to it

I'm not going to really suggest anything because its your car. I think you should pick out the kit and such...

as for an exhaust, which you'll basically need with the turbo kit....I'd recommend the Greddy Evolution 2. It kicks ***

well if u get a kit, i highly recommend any urethane lip kit to ur liking. never get rid of your stock bumpers. dont settle for fiberglass, it may be cheap but you'll hate it in the long run.

also, dont get 17s, cuz after a few months you'll just want to go bigger and get 18s or 19s

Now this is just my .02 but here it goes

18" rims --> These are new for 04

Since you ordered turbo Deff. need a cat back exhaust so go w/ greddy or DC sports, IMO dc sports is a little quiter
As for Drop i would only go 1.5-2" -- > Get B&G's or Teins, or GC's and Koni Yellows

As for Body Kit i would only get a Urethane Kit... either Aero Kit, Kaminari.

As for System kill 2 birds with 1 stone get a indash TV pioneer or Alpine.

that will put you at around 4 grand.... I love to spend other peoples money.... LOL

well anyway good luck, and cant wait to see pics when its all done.

I thought SF was not taking any more turbo orders until they finish with the last groupbuy?

Since you already have a turbo I would suggest the Apexi World Sport Exhaust since it has a 2.5" inch piping all the way instead of the 2.25" from all the other companies. It would say urethane kit cuz it's more durable and since your gonna have boost I would think your bumpers are gonna get more of a beating. The rest I leave up to you since it's your ride . Just keep it clean!

youve already got a tubo so...

1. Gunmetal rims with a polished lip, 18s, maybe rims like a user here slystad (1400 lets say)

2. CF Hood (350, if u search around)

3. Drop, goldlines, progress, nuespeed....(u can buy them used for about 75-100 shipped)

4. Tsunali front bumper with WW G5 sides and rear(1000 maybe?)

5 ALtezza Grill with silver lip and silver hood trim(grill alone costs 45 shipped, the rest i dont know)

6. WW mini me commando spoiler(300)

7. Sparco/ Recaro BlackSeats

hope this helps
