Polo for DIY Mods you can get strut tower bars (front and rear) and an intake. The strut tower bars will help with the max's below average handling, and the intake is said to get you 10 hp at the wheels (frankencar). All of these can be done with basic hand tools & a torque wrench.

All my mods I did my self with no special tools. The only thing I did not do was tint the windows and paint the body. I tried doing the paint work but it came out pretty bad BTW thanks for the compliment.

Off-topic: emax, is there really a noticeable difference between the Stillen sides and the stock 2k2 side sills? I like the rear valance, just waiting to see a front lip.

I like the stillen sides a lot more. The stock sides are little square pieces while the stillen ones are a bit more aggresdsive and have nice lines.

I agree, I've got the AE (same sides as the 2K2) and I keep thinking I'll switch the sides out. Actually, I like the Stillen front lip a lot better too. All around feels more aggresive.
