What Should I buy?

ok so i want to order some things, little things, doesnt have to be performance mods, could be exterior/interior mods. this weekend is going to be like christmas because i have tires, clear corners, bulbs and strakes coming. i want to order some more things. i was looking into the umnitza intake but i am worried about the issues with it, the RB intake is a lil pricey. i just have this need to order stuff lol

Eh... you cant even get a sway bar for $200. I would recommend saving your money.

yup, save more money. 200 can't buy performance mods, not really good ones anyway.

yea that airrazor is quite funny. so those cheap $15 voltage stabilizers will do the same as a $200 one?

If you are still lookin at finding a guinea pig for the intake... I will volunteer my services here in Florida.... :-) I have the K&N short ram intake... the "old" one... and it sounds nice but lacks the power.. actually feels like it loses power compared to stock intake.... it takes me about 15-20 minutes to swap out the intakes.. so I am pretty familiar with the intake system on the 8..... but I only have about 4,000 miles left on my 8 before I hit warrenty..... :-)
