Default Need a new Mod to do to IS !!!!!!

i have done tint, tail lights, rims, and exhaust. i really want to do something bad to my car i really want a body kit but worried about scraping the ground or that it will look ugly because i don't want to lower my car either. if you think it will now scrap with the kit then that will be my next mob if so i guess i will put another spoiler on and re do the front main and lower grill.

You more concern with exterior mods or also looking into interior? I see you haven't listed an intake.

But somethings I would suggest
- black roof vinyl wrap (if your car is not black already)
- springs or coilovers (I know you don't want to lower it but body kits cost more and it really doesnt look good with the oem wheel gap)
- aftermarket intake
- JDM window visors (expensive tho)
- Front Lip and trunk spoiler (maybe roof spoiler too, this is a cheap mod)

Or you can look into adding things to your interior

If you aren't lowered, that is a must.

If you are, go with spoilers.

just springs will never be too low for anything.... the list of mods can go on forever as long as you have money to blow. Post up some pictures and what is your budget?

You can go air and be stock with a push of a button, authentic full kits, interior, audio... it really comes down to money.

Yeah, you definitely need to lower it. Springs or coils, I don't care, but it NEEDS to be dropped. I have H&R springs and I have no issues driving my car anywhere.

On a side note, I am about to buy some Megan EZ coils and swap out the springs.

Suspension: Decent Coilovers ($1000-$1500), FSport Sway bars ($400)
Performance: FSport Full Intake ($300) or JoeZ intake pipe ($120)+FSport Filter ($60)
Appearance: JDM Window Visors ($400), NEW wheels and tires

All that should total close to $5Gs

+1 on lowering. a mild drop by swapping out springs will look better, while still maintaining comfort. If you are worried about scraping i would go with a lip kit instead of a complete body kit. instead of going with a new spoiler maybe go with our AF-1 Trunk like CL member CDPlayr?

Definitely lower it, I just did it and I am wondering why I didn't do it earlier, car looks much better, and since you will be lowered might as well get a lip kit as well, with your budget you can do a lot.
