Well upgrading the suspension is it for me.
Springs and AMG swaybars have made a huge difference in the driving comfort of my daily drive, which includes a lot of twisties and pleasure driving in places like Highway 1 to Big Sur.

A lot of Acura's pull over to let me pass them :]
And for night driving, better H7 bulbs has also made a huge difference. Couldn't see squat before.
Those Philips Rally bulbs are freakin' bright man!

Total $$ spent, only ~600.
are philips rally bulbs even street legal??? and where'd ya get'em from ?

I'd have to say my favorite mod would have to do with suspension. Getting these KWV2s to hold me down was one of the best upgrades I've ever purchased for the car. 2nd? Probably the Kleemann C20K M271 Kit for some punch, then BiX.

My first mod

I had this car since Nov. 2001, but I didn't do any mod other than wheel upgrade. This is first mod and I just wanted to post a pic.

It could do it without the "ghetto" thingy, but I didn't want it to shake too much when I floor the gas.

It's sucking up lot of hot air, so I'm thinking of modifying it a little. Will try to post a pic.

2. Projector headlight with 5k or 6k Xenon.

These 4 mods are what I want to do, but which order should i go with.

Michael

Personally, i would go:

1 - Wheels - easy, instant gratification
2/3 at the same time - while you have the bumper off, it will be easier to upgrade to BIX.
4 - I'd save this one for last, it's very involved with a lot of work.
