For the engine/exhaust/other mods, I'll be adding the cold air intake and tune from Steeda; swapping out the throttle body for a larger diameter setup; changing the headers to a ceramic/shorty; installing the borla atak cat back exhaust system; and swapping out the gears to a 3:31 or 3:55 setup.

Long term for the engine like way way down the road, I'd like to get a procharger and boost this bad boy. That's pretty much all I can think of now but I'm sure they'll release something else that I may want to pick up while doing all of this upgrading.
Does the throtle body really makes a difference?

I've heard mixed reviews. For a couple hundred bucks, I'll give it a shot. I'm trying to bolt on as much HP as possible, and if it helps me out in that dept, I think it will be worth it.

Wheels look good. I'm not normally a fan of dark wheels, but your car is an exception as I think they really look good in your case.

Thanks blind, appreciate the compliment.

Fidencio, I'll definitely keep the board updated with progress and my thoughts on the TB install.

Great looking wheels. Would like to see it when it's dropped a bit.

Thanks Mr. Nice Guy. I gotta save up for a bit before I drop it. Gotta make sure I do the drop right so I don't have any suspension or tire wear issues in the future.
