Default Time to Mod my 460. Suggestions.

Ok. I have had my cars for almost 3 months now and I would like a different look. No exhaust, midpipes, or headers just yet, only something for looks. I am thinking of buying brembo brakes, but do not know which, of from where?? Also, I would like to add a metallic roof sticker to give it a panormaic look. Would you guys think it would look good? What other things would you guys suggest?

P.S - Frosty Pearl is the color of my car.

drop it like its hot. Get a nice set of wheels (20's only. No19's) and call it a day. Exhausts will only degrade the level of comfort that the car has to offer

Agreed, if you put a body kit on it, imo, something simple, unless your doing full on UAS air bags etc..then thats a whole new ball game.

No honda here. You can lower the car and do it with coilers. That way you will maintain a majority of your ride comfort and have the option to adjust the height. So if you get ski of it you can easily bring the car back up. I have the EDFC on my Tein CST and I can even adjust the softness/comfort of the suspension while driving.Do it right and spend the money and you can have your cake and eat it too

^ What he said. Keep in mind if you put any BBK on your car you will need to change out your wheels due to fitment issues.

I would start off with the JDM kit + a minor drop (springs or coilovers)
