What other suggestions do you guys have for me? I like speed, but I prefer luxury. Neons under the car that blink to the beat of my music would be really cool. neons or Leds above my feet when my car door opens. Since I got this car i've bee going CRAZY on what to do with it.
You can start by getting new wheels and a drop...
As for LED's look for AZNOptics, he is a forum sponsor and should help you out with the lights you are looking for. I have personally done all LED interior + trunk and glovebox and I can tell you they look great!

Ok. I don't know if it's just me, or do a lot of people here over abuse the word ricer? I noticed that majority of the people on this forum don't exactly know what ricer is.

^read that please, and keep in mind (or whatever) that putting gucci into your car isn't for performance, it's not to MAKE it look fast. It's purely for luxury. You have leather and I have gucci, no big deal. Same with putting LED's under my dash so they go On when my doors open. Yea, the Neons that blink to the beat of the music was a bad idea, but still not exactly "ricer" visors have a purpose, they don't make the car "look" faster neither do they actually make it faster. I'm from Russia, and back then, an even now, visors were a pretty popular thing (back there) so I like to add them to feel a little more at home. It seems to me a lot of people are mad or hating right now by posting rude comments, and I honestly didn't know that I would be treated as if I'm not welcome when I was signing up.
On other related issues, comes out the upholstery shop ran out of material to finish my car, so they ave me back my car and told me to bring it in in a week and the material will be there by then. The front two seats are done, and it looks AMAZING! however the door panels are not. And the back seat is done aswell, how ever the panels aren't so the whole back is disassembled and it looks a mess. I would really rather post pictures AFTER everything is done rather then piece by piece. I can honestly say it'll be worth the wait, the feed back I got from friends and other people so far has been very good.

It's your car and you're the one who has to be happy with it. (Just don't glue a fake supercharger on the hood!
). I'm anxious to see how the Gucci seats look. I hope the shop gets the material and gets your car back together soon!

I Do! Ofcours, im still debating on the Kleeman Pulley Kit + CPU ECU or something like that (i got confused -____-) but it seems kind of pricey, and someone mentioned that an exaust system will relieve some back pressure from my car, and i plan on doing that. Plus more, I'm open to idea's fella's please input if you know whats up.
its taking SO much longer then i though...

1. A 3 inch exhaust and remove your resonator. Maybe remove your cat since you only have one.. ( up to you and the laws wherever you may live).
2. Than I would consider either doing a custom cold air intake or putting in a K&N filter.
3. A ECU tune. Most from what I heard are very good (Kleemann, Eurocharge).
That is my idea. The list gets longer but that is a start..

Looks pretty decent, actually. I'd get the armrest recovered as well - not in the Gucci fabric - but alcantara.
Definitely an improvement; I was so happy to get rid of that stock fabric too.

There are people who use 19" wheels (and I use the stock 17" wheels) but from what I've read, 18" is as big as you want to go because the ride is a lot rougher - especially if the streets aren't in good shape.
Maybe somebody with more experience can chime in.
