This thread is a work in progress thread of my mods, changes, upgrades, you name it. I'll bump this thread every time I get something new added, simply because I won't do it all at once, it takes time (And money).
September 18, 2010; Here's a picture of my car last winter. The only changed on it then was there was rally stripes added. Overall price ~ $320
September 18, 2010; Here's some wheels and tires I just got. The wheels are 17" with low profile Michelin tires (Pilot exalto A/S) Overall price ~ $1,100
^-- Accidentally had my finger in front of my cell phone
September 18, 2010; And here is my system I have in my car. It's 2x 12" Pioneer Sub woofers with a basic box and a 2,000 Watt AMP (1200 Watt subs, I bridged them). I kept stock stereo by putting the input of one of my stock speakers to my subs, works just fine and all I have to do is use the bass control to change the bass. Overall price ~ $300 (250 for subs + box + amp 50 for wiring kit, got lucky with some druggie that lost his license who needed money
)
^--- This is at the guy's house that I bought it from, AMP is on top, haven't gotten to taking good pictures yet.
September 19, 2010; I decided to touch a few things up with yellow paint. I painted the front plate emblem yellow (Instead of a red outline) and a few highlights on the Ecotech cover and air intake system. Overall price ~ Free (Had the paint)
October 01, 2010; Well, for now because of my budget and recent upgrade rampage I'm laying down on huge mods (For now). What I just recently got was a K&N Air Filter. It only was $45 and said it allows faster air flow in return for more horse power and better gas mileage. I recorded 0-60 2 times with no mods and will do the same again with the K&N Air Filter when I get it to see if there really is any added kick. Overall price ~ $45
Update Aug. 13, 2011; Had the four videos ready to be compared but time passed and I had eventually lost the device that had the stored videos, and not knowing where I put my old filter, I apologize but I will not be giving any results. But based on opinion it would have only changed a small fraction of a second, and I mean small. Felt smoother though
August 13, 2011; Welp! I'm back, girlfriend is gone to the navy (Sad face) so I have more budget to my self ^_^ and just got finished working for the summer. Gonna be adding some visual touch-ups for the future. Today I went to Advanced Autoparts (Or somethin) to get some wheel cleaner, washed my car, and thought "Hey, those neon strips I was looking at looked pretty cool". Eventually later today around 7 I went and I was about to purchase the blue strips when I learned its illegal to have red/blue color neon, so I turned to either green or purple. I chose green and luckily the store didn't have it so I went to an auto store down the street and they had the longer green strips. Got them for 24 bucks. First time hands on experience installing neon, it's pretty **** easy. Lol. Ended up being 24 for the 2 strips and 5 for the clamp connectors (Which I didn't even use... Pro.), and I bought some fuel cleaner for 2 for 5 bux, why not? Anyway. Overall price ~ $24
August 14, 2011; Mmm, more additions! Today I bought a can of solid black spray paint bout 6$, some sand paper bout 4$, and pedals bout 21$, and installed the other strip of my neon in my trunk over my system. Overall price ~ $31
Before flaming, yes I know it's a ghetto spray painted 2x4 box-holding rig, but I had the materials and needed something to allow me to drive like a maniac w/o it going everywhere. Didn't wanna do a permanent mount quite yet.
~August 20, 2011; AIRBOX MOD DAY! After debates and a long attempt to remove my air silencer previously, I've finally decided to say "Screw it" and just ripped er' out. It wasn't easy, I ended up using a dry-wall hand saw to cut the plastic rivot-like thing out, then it wouldn't even pull straight out without me bending my body like crazy, but I eventually got it out. Overall price ~ Sweat, blood, and time
P.S. : Before/after airbox mod video.

~August 26, 2011; Well, at least I got rid of the UGLY exhaust, kinda. Exhaust tip! Chrome/flat black to match mah car's misc. theme. Overall price ~ $24
^---Anything wrong with cutting the exhaust back a few inches to make it not look like a tard car?
