But first things first... remove that pin-striping. Ugh.

Yeah - just never really committed to looking for one yet. I think if I ever do plan on keeping the car long term and having the front resprayed (because right now it's rock chips galore), then I'll bite the bullet. But for now, not really a priority for me.

Haha, the pinstriping doesn't bother me, I didn't even really notice it. But yeah, this would be my first aftermarket wheel purchase. My first mod once I get the money might be a catalytic converter, though that could be a head exploder too haha.

Nismo wheels and a shiny a$$ = perfection.

Out of curiosity, why would a cat be your 1st mod? Does it need to be replaced or is that a bang-for-the-buck mod I missed?

Well I don't know, it wouldn't have to be, but that and the muffler are the most restrictive in terms of air flow. A lot of people get cat back exhaust systems thinking about the sound and forget about the stock catalytic converter.

I am not completely sold on the effectiveness of aftermarket intake systems either.

Probably a reflash would do the most to be honest.

There really aren't any mods for this car which give you a lot of power by themselves.

Really the best bang for buck mod is suspension and wheels. Start off with some upgraded sways, better tires and wheels.

Intake systems don't really do much of anything, besides add some noise.

Getting a reflash/tune on a stock car won't do much of anything.

looks NICE! Did you refinish your wheels? If not where'd you locate a dark set of Nismo wheels? All I've seen available anywhere is the light silver. Thx
