2/. Suspension works: Rear anti-sway bar (Suspension Techniques), Camber kit (SPC or Ingalls), Front Upper strut (neuspeed or one prefab by a HAN member), etc.
3/. Tires and wheels: 15-16 for comfort, 17-18 for looks. Get good tires for better grips
4/. Lightning = 9005 conversion (cheap route), HID, retrofitted. NO PROJECTORS unless you get TYC's. for better vision.
5/. Save your money for major engine work or swap + turbo if you want more hp; because all the addons are going to be useless, it's not that much gain nor noticable.

btw, I suggest that you search because these topics have been covered tons of time.
Yeah I agree...I only got my AEM SRI because my old air filter was dirty as hell and needed replacing...I definetly feel more low end punch and more mid range power but it's nothing worth writing home about.

As for lighting, I disagree with the 9005 conversion. I reccommend against that because the bulbs blow quicker...9006 Silverstars will provide plenty of light.

Follow this to the T. I wish I could start over. I would do suspension then would've saved up for boost or motor swap.

i like my SRI cuz it sounds hella throaty.

i converted only one of my 9005 and i kinda dont likeit, becuz the light just goes everywhere, not really focused. but i do notice more of an output.
