I agree with most of that. The comment to save your money and buy a carbon fiber hood because it saves weight I disagree with tho. A carbon hood going to be so close in weight to the little thing already on the car, that I can't justify the $450 for it. It does look great tho. I just can't have a rain catcher on my car in the Pacific NW

The best money to be spent on these cars is on a suspension setup, one that was designed as a set, not a piece together e-bay setup. Add in some sticky tires on lightweight 15's, a good clutch and lightweight flywheel, and enjoy. That's my plans atleast

And that's why I didn't buy an American car. XD

All I really want to do with my car is add in an intake for that little bit of "umph" under the hood. I'm also seriously considering grounding the engine for that little bit of boost off first. Besides that... possibly a new cam -if it ever comes out- and I really want to lower it. I saw a set of lowering springs on TRD's site not too long ago.

And by the way: I don't care if their heavy, I love my steelies.
