My money pit...

So I usually dont do these kinds of threads but I'm sitting at work, bored...so what the hell why not.

My name is Lindsay, I have a 2012 coupe, moonlight white, black interior blah blah blah. I've only had it for about a month, it's already had a few things done to it...including a banged up fender (it was fixed though).

Here's how it is for now...I'm debating a bunch of things to add to it (intake, hfc, exhaust, wheels and a few little things) but can't make up my mind for the life of me.

Hello there. Nice G! Those bolt ons sounds like an awesome start.

Clean G! Love the white, second favorite color. HFC, IMO first. Than exhaust. Tune. Misc Exterior. Your G looks good stock as is, so exterior would be my last option. Good luck!

Thanks! Yeah I like exterior. I'm just going to paint the inner part of the grille black and change out my fog lights. Possibly a rear diffuser. That's it besides wheels. I really want my intake/exhaust first I'm on the fence with the HFC's. I dont want the car being too loud and apparently the car drones a lot with the exhaust I want and HFCs.

Summer's over. Do interior mods that you can enjoy during the winter like new steering wheels, lighting, etc...

That's what I do anyways... Then get your new wheels and tires in the spring.

I've considered the season issue...the only thing I may wait on are wheels. The rest I'll do anyway, IMO it doesn't make much of a difference when you install an exhaust

I've always like those M45 wheels. Wheel spacers would make a huge difference.

Definitely would. They're sunk in...I'm trying to decide what to do. I had a 35 coupe before this car and those wheels were on it, with 25mm spacers. I sold the spacers because I didn't intend on keeping the wheels either but then I changed my mind. Now I need to either buy spacers again (which I'll probably do for the time being) or just go find new wheels with proper offsets. I'm the most indecisive person ever

Thanks I'm hoping they're a good start. I'm just wary of the high flow cats...so loud :/

If you want louder go w/ test pipes. But other then that HFC is very nice.

lol thats the thing, the new exhaust is going to make it loud enough, i dont want it louder, and the HFC's will do that haha.

Spacers are only a definite if I decide to keep my M wheels...I'm not sure if I want to yet. If I do decide to keep them, I'm getting new spacers that day

Well...I put the IPL/aero bumper on, my M wheels and lowered it a bit. I think it's time to do some kind of bolt on at least the intake and exhaust.
