keep in mind that if i do the HRE upgrade i wouldn't do the other mods....

if i don't upgrade to HRE, i can probably do all 3 of the other mods...i like my rims, so i think i'm leaning towards that.

yeah, thats what I was thinking...I think in terms of overall improvement having my current rims, bi-xenons, coilovers, and the brabus body kit will be much better than having a really amazing set of 19" HRE's

I say go with bodykit first. It will at least make your car looks different than others. Then, Coil-over. Bi-xenon comes 3rd because eventhough you change it, it will still look stock.

Juz suggestion.
