Talking Transforming a 450h?

HI EVERYONE!?!? Especially to all you hybrid lovers!?!?!?!?! JUST BOUGHT A 2007 GS 450H BLACK ON BLACK WITH 48,000 MILES ON IT. IT'S FAST BUT I HAVE THE NEW FOR SPEED. ANY SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT I SHOULD DO FOR PERFORMANCE UPGRADES AND LOOKS WISE? THE FIRST THING I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS GET TINTS

First and most important mod you can do...
Turn off the effin "CAPS LOCK".



As far as the car. Since the drive line mod options are few and far between. Go at the look of the car. Drop it, wheels, springs, body kit.

Don't get a loud exhaust (I'm just rocking tips, like other Hybrid people)

Wanna hear something really annoying...Nissan Maxima CVT with open pipes. Same Bat sound, Same Bat pitch, at the Same Bat volume! All the time. And on that car, the engine doesn't turn on and off while driving.

I would start with a K&N filter, it gives you the suttle noise but doesnt inturude so much. The tints def. and probably some rims may make the car stand out!

the targa nfld GS450h with the full exhaust was the deciding factor for me to go with tips, but yeah, same reason you've given.
