Decisions decisions - mod day coming soon, need help deciding...
I am anxiously awaiting the end of April (edit: now early May) for a day when I will do all my mods at the same time. I have been waiting on wheels and euro spec headlamps to come in so that I can do all my mods at once - in one big swoop - and take pics of the before and after.
So as that day comes near, I want to make sure I have all the parts I could want, at least for now, so that I can walk away happy knowing I did it all. Here is the list of what I have: ACS TYPE IV Monoblock 19's (19x8.5 / 19x9.5) MICHELIN PS2 235/35/19 265/30/19 EURO SPEC HEADLAMPS OSRAM 6000k XENON PMB WHITES KERSCHER FRONT BUMPER KERSCHER FOG LAMP KIT CLEAR BRA BLACKLINE TAILLIGHTS INTERIOR XENON LIGHTING TINT 50/35 OEM REAR SPOILER edit :XENESIS TRU-MATCH FOG BULBS edit :EUROPEAN LICENSE PLATE FRONT edit :RAD LOCKS WHEELS LOCKS edit :SOLARIS INVISI BULBS (TURN SIGNALS) edit :BRITALMAN AIR INTAKE edit :ALUMINUM PEDALS AT/DEAD I hope I covered it all - PLEASE HELP!!! I need to know what I am missing and what else I should have on order - what are other peeps doing?

Read my sig or look in my garage to see what I have done. I would add a suspension upgrade to your list, a set of springs and shocks.

Clear Signal lights: which ones are you looking for? Clear bulbs/Amber signals, or Clear bulbs/Clear signals? or were you asking about euro-headlights with non-orange reflectors? Fog light replacement: Just bulb replacement or HID retro? Aluminum Pedals: OEM or M-sport.

Clear signal lights (clear bulbs / amber signals) I already have the euro-headlights ordered that have the non-orange reflector. I just want Fog Light replacement to match the 6000k and PMB's Which aluminum pedals are the favored?

1. Gruppe M is favored. but too expensive.
2. Solaris Invisi-Bulbs will do. Visit www.bimmian.com 3. PIAA Super White, Luminics Titanium White, Nokya Artic White, Mtec Super white is available. Don't ask me how they look. they are all white color, pick your pick from a box of chocolate. 4. OEM and M-sport both popular. IMO, go with OEM.

You should do springs to lower the drop to make it look good with the wheels...

By the way, the list looks good. I'm not sure about the intake tho. So far, all intakes from members in here have been craps and non of them gave any extra hp. |

For the first group of modding, you'll probably bring the look of your car close to LongTran's car but not there yet since Long dropped his car making it look more aggressive. |

I get nervous dropping the car - how much do people usually drop it?
How far do you think needs to be dropped to make a difference?

But that 1/2 inch made a heck of a difference. it really changed the whole look of the car--and all for the better. Here's before and after pictures: |
