Very nice combo, once you start to mod it's very difficult to stop. Unless you run out of money or credit cards max out.

Definitely really excited about it!

What were the first changes you guys made after getting a new ride?
Nice car. Congrats and enjoy.

The first thing I did (and always do with any car) is put on some nice wheels. That is the easiest way to make your car stand out from the pack.

The second thing I did was replace that stupid shifter **** with something better.

Now I am putting on headers this week. It's a snowball I tells ya........

Welcome. The first thing(s) I did was maintanance. Not that the car was in bad shape when I got in 2012...a 2004 coupe with 18k miles. But I felt that all new fluids would be a smart preventative care. Did oil change, coolant, brakes. Kept from doing mods right away, but wanted to make sure car was ready for them.
