drop in filter in stock airbox
dc or comptech header
apexi ws or rsr exmag for quiet exhaust
ground control coilovers on koni yellows
rims and tires of your choice

that should be well under 9k. keep the exterior stock, nice sleeper look.

i on the other hand, could very well see myself sinking 9k into the engine alone. h: :sad:
