Ok so I'm going to list my plans and I'd like to here your opinions! Nobody can be wrong if I'm asking for opinions that way.

For the performance aspects I'm thinking an:
HKS Hi-Power Catback (the single tip one)
AEM Cold Air Intake
Axial Flow Short-Shifter

For the looks I'd like to:
Tint the windows
and New gunmetal rims for starts.

Also what are peoples thoughts on break paint? Like for the actual brake not the disc. Alot of high end performance cars have them in yellow or red (such as the GTR) and I liked the look.

 

None of these are really "performance" aspects
The catback and intake are for sound and looks.
The AFS will make driving more enjoyable.

Maybe combine the AEM with a mid-pipe and a tuned AccessPort, THEN I'll consider that a performance aspect

 

only new rims if they are an improvement over the stockers....like 18.9 or 17.9....if not I would say just paint the stockers gunmetal

 

I like where you're mind is at, but im gonna have to agree. All you're adding to the car is noise, maybe 1 or 2 hp if you're lucky. Tints I would agree with, I myself have 15% and it looks sick, and i like the rim idea.

 

Well by performance I just meant the mechanical parts, I realize that simple bolt ons do close to nothing on 8s.

 

Well your on your way to mod nirvana. AEM is a good choice and the exhaust, pick one you like the sound of. And the Short Shifter I know nothing about, lol, I has paddle shifters.
