use the search function and scroll through this nifty forum to get an idea of what mods you what, and what your goals are. It's free, and the knowledge will add more than horsepower and torque to your car

Since it's an 04 auto, there's no point in spending money trying to make it faster. I would say body kit and wheels to dress it up.

I agree, a Veilside D1 kit, and the rims I posted and you will be set.

Holy **** this is the stupidest thread I've read yet. Congratulations. I'm posting this in the TNC thread.

TNC FTW!

This might help you out!

"The Air Razor is precision laser cut from stainless steel with no moving parts and no wires. It is not a fan does not need electrical power to work. It is an automotive air channeling device that you insert into your intake tube. Once inside the tube it creates swirling air motion, allowing the air to move faster and more efficiently by continuously whirling air around corners and bends. By creating a spiraling funnel of air, (a vortex), the Air Razor makes the air move faster through your intake, cooling it down. A cooler intake creates MORE POWER and more power helps you save gas. We could all use a little savings at the pump, right?

We guarantee the Air Razor against any defects in workmanship for life! We also offer a rock solid 30-day money-back guarantee. If you don't like the Air Razor, for any reason, you can return it to us within 30 days for a full refund of your bid price! We want you to be happy and we're willing to put our money where our mouth is!"

Nah man he should have bought a Prius. Those things make no noise on electricity! The ultimate drive-by car.

take it easy on the guy man...lol..he is a newbie...

first thing first, what do you want from your car? you should know that when you bought a car, it mentions on the sticker about the gas milage....
1) it's not a good car if you are trying to save gas milage.
2) its not a straight line car, where you can boost up the power like piston engine, or camaro..those lines..
3)it is a driver car, where you enjoy it...and if you wanna maintain it, you can buy anything to make it reliable
4) if you wanna make it fast. GET 6 SPEED...

anyway, you should get to know what you want from the car...if you wanna save gas and look good, get hybrid man...they are good at gas...but you will get flamed to come to forum and ASK US how to make our car better on gas milage because we just know how to make the gas milage worse instead of better...

do a research before you ask questions, we will help you if you do need, otherwise, try read the forum little bit, it will give you some ideas
peace
steven
