Things I have done....

18" wheels
Brake upgrade with slotted rotors
Carlsson Springs
Bilstein Sport Shocks
Intake
Cat-back exhaust
Clear corners with chrome bulbs
Euro spec headlights
Tint

I think that's about it. The car drives completely different now. I wouldn't want it any other way. Unfortunately it's about to get its 3rd headgasket so I will be short on money for a while. I plan to get a chip in the next couple of months. I'll let you know how that goes.

Since we can't post pictures bigger than 1 by 2 pixels here is a link to pictures.
