What should be the first thing to do to it cuz i dont know where to start. i was thinking maybe an intake and to begin with but then again i was thinkin about puttin a tv in it first. or maybe subs first. i was also curious about the flip flop trunk kits if anyone has experience with them i was just wondering if they rattled any more than the original trunk. hit me up with some ideas thanks guys

like said before... will your car be performance based, show based, system based, etc...? i personally could give 2 chits about body kits, spoilers, lighting, etc. but somone else may just want a bodykit, rims, and a drop. it all depends on what YOU want to do, it is your car, go with it

I just got my intake parts in and the y is on the way so I can't say from personal experience, but I have been researching this topic for quite some time now, and according to several authorities y and intake should be combined for maximum results from each of them.
