cobb sucks *****, especially tuned by MM, I suggest you get the E-manage blue, or better yet, the canzoomer, that is real ownage, but it's a bit more expensive than the Cobb, if you want something in the mid-price range, try the INT-X from mazsport

but I gotta give a thumbs up to the CF hood

Do whatever you want, don't let us pick your mods....takes the fun out if it IMO. Part of the fun is picking out your own mods....getting sick of them....then changing them again.

All depends on what you want to do with your car.

Seats? Really? I wouldn't consider seats unless I really track the car and need the extra bolster support, or unless it was a show car.....

...wait...

Do you track the car? Or is it a show car?


Otherwise, AP FTW!!
