well after looking at your mods, i'd say an adjustable fuel pressure regulator and fuel pressure gauge. you can buy some headers for 195, but that would be painted. if you want you can save up another hundred and buy some ceramic coated.

oops. stupid me and my obsession with performance. this is the appearance section...

in that case, lowering springs. you can get some eibachs for about 190. or be cheap like me and get some spingtech offa ebay for 100.

well even if you dont cut em and you get new spings its still gonna be stiffer. plus you'd get hella wheel hop. but us v6s dont care, we dont have the torque anyway

if they are good springs they shouldn't hurt the ride a bit

yea... i know im still debating on them...i actually like them a lot and was thinking about painting them the gloss black. I'm not sure tho, now im thinking of saving for some 18" black with a polished lip rims...im going for the all black look now. the louvers would set it off in my opinion and im sure u would feel the same way about the louvers.

I love my louvers, but you don't really need to paint them to keep them looking glossy. I use Meguiar's Gold Class Trim Detailer, and they shine, and look really nice. I was originally thinking of having mine painted gloss black to blue to match, but painting them(too me) wasmore hassle thatn it was worth. So i bought the detailer, and it works great.
