side skirts and diffuser are definitely on the list of things to get. Wheels I have just been waiting on till I need tires again, so hopefully in another 10k miles or so.

I was thinking about getting these side and rear skirts

exhaust would be a most thats for sure at least that was my 1st mode on my F , if i had that budget at once i would definitely do headers and exhaust at the same time, not only are you gonna get awesome sound but also more power to go with it.

^^^ This would probably be the best option for the loudest and probably most bang for your buck.

Xforce exhaust 620$ shipped. And there's a new set of PPE headers for 1400 in the classified adds. After installs you still have 1,500 that's how I would roll

I do love the sound of that H&S exhaust. Also like the fact that you can get that V8 AMG noise from just the exhaust alone (I would expect the same noise from a header/exhaust) combo.

Another deciding factor is the exhaust tips (I know its just tips, but I hate the fake tips on the ISF currently). I actually thought your car had maybe the oem tips blackened out or something. Didn't realize they were actual exhaust tips till i went through your build thread. Your car looks and sounds awesome btw.

I am waiting on Josh to get us the price info. on Monday, so mostly likely decide on this Monday. This exhaust will also leave me about 2k to spend on something else.
Thanks chap.

Like you, I hated the fake tips. Worst part is the insane cost to replace them when the pathetic tack welds give up, and you lose one somewhere!

My tips are actually ceramic coated in black to follow my dark carbon look. Not a cheap process, but they look great, and reduce tip heat to help protect my carbon diffuser.

I'll make a point of letting H&S know you guys are keen to get going with this(think they know already from all my emails back and forth!) when I drop my car off with them tomorrow morning.

Will be in touch with Josh the moment I hear from them.

Should put the car around 410 whp (maybe a little more) and should sound amazing. I've been fighting with this and just continuing to save until supercharger comes out. That would be the best bang for the buck for me I think. 475ish whp and with stock exhaust shouldn't be too hard to achieve. If I do anything before the supercharger it will be to make sure the car handles and stops.

You could buy from PPE but your price from us is significantly cheaper.
