Thoughts...
So, im deployed in iraq atm, about to be heading home in a week or so, but trying to figure out if theres any other small upgrades i can buy for my car...so far while ive been here i have orderd, and have waiting at home for me to put on:
Five Axis Lip Kit
Five:AD Wheels wrapped in Yokohoma S-drive'
Megan Racing Short Shifter
Megan Racting Drift Spec exhaust
Megan Racing Midpipe/Spipe
VRD Grill
Door plugs and Debagged rear from I-Kona
Stoptech stage 2 brake Set
Custom Shift Boot
So trying to think if theres anything else fairly simple i can upgrade in my car besides what i bought while ive been here...i already have a new system in my car, windows are already tinted...it also has the TRD Shocks/Struts/Lowering springs already installed...Any other ideas? i was thinking maybe buying some new Tail/Head lights...

Nice list!!! Good choice on the Five axis kit! I just got mine and it's being painted this week. Can't wait to put it on my car!
Dude, I don't think there's anything major left to do on your car (RHD conversion, maybe? j/k!) Well, maybe new headlights will be good, but the tails--just smoke 'em. How about going F/I??? And post pics when you get back

What about Sway Bars? You can pick up the Hotchkis Front & Rear Sway package for under $300.
You could also go with just a Rear Sway Bar from Progress (that comes with new endlinks!) or the TRD Sway for under $200.
Looks like Sways are the only things you really need for a suspension upgrade.
