Thats a nice starting point ...... Since I have a silver tC i really like it. Think about putting in the rear strut bar .... thats a nice mod if you are looking for something to do.

It has a Cold Air Intake, Aftermarket Headers, (Not a turbo and the both add about 10 HP at the most) Strut bar for a bit more suspension performance...

It also has a grounding kit, which is just for looks and tries to help get a better ground for the engine...

Plus, a lot of little stuff just to cover hoses and make it look different.

About 500 dollars in Aftermarket parts in there.

I didnt think my front strut bar was doing anything for me till I took it off and drove for 3-4 weeks w/o it. I can tell it does make a difference but its a tossup ...I like how the front end is a bit softer now.
