Just bought 8....New to forum
Just bought a 04 Winning blue 8 with 35,000 miles. Its a GT if im correct, every option besides Nav. Im new to the forum and have been researching a bit. Just thought i would give a list of future mods. Thoughts and comments appreciated.
Already installed JDM clear corners, and JDM blue city lights. 20% tint all around.
Future MODs:
Audio/Video: 2 10's or 12's? with amp and enclosure from EBAY...Metra double din kit, 7" touchscreen.
Intake/Exhaust: I'll probally go with mazdaspeed products for these because of warranty purposes.
Suspension: Tein H tech springs, maybe new shocks. Will I need anything for bad camber other than alignment?
Rims: Chrome 19's...should I stay with the same sized tires all around?
Lighting: 10,000k HID bulbs..are these illegal in NY? Blue LED foglights bulbs and corners.
Any other suggestions?

Power!!
19" will just make your car slower, uglier and less comfortable.
Welcome. Before you do the mods bring your car in and get the recall test done to make sure your motor is in good shape. Many of the '04's have had engine replacements under warranty. If you need one it will be covered under warranty but definitely find out before messing with it.

And who was it that said "dont ruin it by putting gangsta chrome rims on"? This car looks sick!! The pic of the rims I want to get aren't too far off from these.

Yeah ZumnRX8, I was reading that whole thread last night. I actually seen the video on youtube before I read the thread. I wish he had more clips...but my keyboard can't take any more drool.
