-2 12 inch kicker comps w/ 540 watt power akoustik amp in custom box.
-18 inch chrome helo tease wheels.
-Tein S tech lowering springs
-Painted red brake calipers
-Im getting my exhaust put on today and cold air intake and headers later on this week.
-upgraded the dash 4 inch speakers and 6.5 components in the front doors.

Thanks guys

judging from some of the mods, i'm guessing you're going for more of a cruising type vehicle, not particularly straight performance, though your list has a mix of both routes.

thus, i would recommend going VIP style if you can afford it or if it's even feasible in your part of the country.

more performance oriented mods would be suspension, which seems to be lacking. strut bars, frame braces, sway bars, and spacers/shims.

if you don't like the above, i would say go forced induction.

It looks like you got it covered nicely. Good Job. I'd start saving now for your next set of wheels. LOL

You've got the bases covered. Post some pix of your box in it's current state...
If i had to add to your list, I'd say-

Katzkin leather seats (green inserts?)
Monroe SensaTrac shocks
OTG shims
Diamond plate or other custom floormats
Green LED/cathode interior lighting (Superfa.com, Oznium.com)
JDM bB bumper cover and any other bB bits you like
Replace wiper wth lock or rear camera
LED or Helix tails
Cleared headlights with green bulbs
Any other custom bits that will make your box unique...

Thanks for the input. I was actually thinking of doin the rear veiw cam. I jus dont know how to install it (i try and do all the work myself). If you know how please tell.

As far as clearing out my headlights. I've been wanting to do that but ive been told that i'd be better off jus buying some new halos, bc of the work involved.

I was wondering about the other comment about saving for my next set of wheels... Jus curious are they no good or something. I thought they were pretty nice and they go for about 215 a piece so i figured they weren't too abd.

I'm sorry I love your wheels, I said that because most people get wheels like shoes. There are quit a few people that have several sets of wheels and tires. I know I'd have more of them if I could afford it. Sorry if it sounded like I didn't like your taste in wheels.
