1. Get an ebay intake, same thing as K&N just make sure u get a K&N filter for it.
2. Nix the tail lights go with 04-05 stockers
3. Black out ur stock headlights
4. Pulleys aren't worth it
5. Good choice on rims
6. U dont have a #6
7. Might want to spend a lil more on tires BFG's Nitto TOYO
8. Koni's are good
9. Eibahcs are good
Dont waste money on header
Exhaust is ok
u need a camber kit and thats way too much for factory fogs.
and oh yeah no I.C.E.?

, although I don't agree w/ the ebay intake...

the list you have include many popular choices, so if they fit your budget and fit your needs, go for it. I would pick different tires though.... and I didnt know Skunk 2 made a cat-back for 4 doors.

do NOT get an ebay intake. trust me on this. the fitment sucks and an intake is NOT just a tube with a filter at the end.

I agree with everything said here... but I would prefer smaller wheels, a nice 16" with 205-50-16 tires will do well for handling performance and add a little ride comfort over the 18's...... just my .2..


my ebay intake is awsome and fit great so I don't know where you're coming from on this, the pipe is also identical to the AEM (I only used the upper pipe as a short ram) and in my first hand experience..unless you get an AEM V-2 or Weapon R, the only thing that makes any differance at all is the filter..

a lot of the ebay intakes for the 7th gen have clearance issues with the hood. i've had one. the coupler ripped on me. so i basically had the throttle body sucking in air without the filter for who knows how long. you n00bs can get whatever you want. im just suggesting that you get good stuff and not worry about it messing up on you.

^^ who are you callin a nOOb?? don't assume just because people are new to this forum they are new to car modification...

and there's no need for name calling..

same with me. my intake rubbed on the hood and cause it to vibrate and began to make a hole in the piping and i took it off before. i say go to the for sale section on this forum and by a used intake for as much as an ebay one. i bought an ebay one before for 40$ and now i just got an injen one for 50$

ite, ive changed it to 17" inch rims, bout the same price really. and yes, im doing an EX conversion from headers back. skunk2 does make a 4 door catback exhaust for the EX, thus i am getting new EX headers with the EX cat.
my friends are tellin me now that it'll sound like a ricer, lookin forward to your input on that subject. im really concerned about sound/looks.

I.C.E.: 2 12" ALpine type-Es custom vented/ported box, 700W mono alpine amp. upgrading the 4 speakers to alpine type-r and a new alpine deck. sometime soon gonna upgrade the subs and keep the same amp.

thanks guys

i'd say:
2. JDM tails
3. retrofit and blacked out headlights
7. better tires than Nankang, they were awful
8. instead of Koni's and eibach, go with Tein coilovers, basics even, I wasn't happy with the konis and eibach


as for the skunk2 exhaust, where are you finding this for a 4door?

ive had my ebay CAI for 2 years now and its been fine

I say get name brand intake...you'll like it better in the long run prolly. Tails, I'd keep stop or go with the awesome looking JDM ones.
Headlights I say go with the Angel Eyes...I love the look of them personally.
If you already plan on doing the EX then then the exhaust depends on what you want...deep and loud, or deep and quiet, lol. There are many threads about exhaust. Magnaflow is always recommended by me
Apexi, Greddy, and HKS are also good to go with, but don't know much about Skunk2.

skunk2 exhaust is extremly loud and extremely deep
