Good idea - have heard quite few folks b*tch about losing their compressor to a rock thrown up by a truck or something on the highway.

When you say "virtually" invisible, is it visible from the front at all?

Take a look at the https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...replacing.html thread. Lots of photos there. Many small black zip ties are probably better than a few big ones. You have to remove the shroud from the top grill (which just involves popping a few fasteners) in order to have enough working room. One hour max, no tools required other than a screwdriver to pop the fasteners, and some sort of clipper (a nail clipper will do) to cut the zip ties.

In my opinion, probably a drop and some tint. Two things I haven't even done. I haven't dropped mine because of the warranty, taking no chances.

I think it all depends on how you drive your car.

If you're going for the looks I recommend a drop (suspension). It gives the car a totally new look right away.

I've literally done it all!

Wheels, tires, suspension, exhaust, dead pedal, etc, etc.


Hands down "Best" IMHO ---> Forced Induction.

Bang for the buck - Footwell CCFL lighting in white. Cheap, simple and very useful.
Best - Upgraded wheel and tire package and/or Recaro SRD seat swap. The seats improve your comfort and your chances of wanting to stay in the car. The better rubber improves the car's dynamics and braking behavior.
