Interior
1) a good sound system with good speakers
-currently have an aiwa head unit with stock speaker - does the job
2) Racing seats - keep me awake while driving long distances
3) Aluminium looking accents here and there.
Exterior
1) Need lambo door - dang they are so cool looking!
2) Need body kit - nothing fancy like Veil side (dont need any more speeding tickets!)
- bumbers are pretty banged up from having a friends truck push me when I broke
my timing belt
3) Carbon Fiber hood - just to lighten things up.
Engine
1) Wires
2) Short Ram Intake
3) Cams
4) Comestic stuff here and there.
Nothing serious to the engine. It getting old. Dont want to over stress it with F/I.

Are you sure........The cops told me otherwise. If you have the Veilside kit, they will probably stop you eventhough you are travelling as fast as the 18-wheeler next to you. I also heard that red color make you go faster also. Proof, mine is red and I got 3 speeding tickets in the last 6 months eventhough I thought I was not going that fast! drillsergeant.gif

Just teasing. The first ticket was entirely my fault. I wasn't even in my tiburon. I was driving my bimmer and was late for an appointment. I was definately speeding. The second one was BS. I was on my way up to Wichita (for work) on the highway. I was following an 18-wheeler and it was 3am in the morning. As we entered Denton, the highway limit changed from 65 to 55. I did not see the speed sign because I was behind the truck. Ignorance is not an excuse. It was BS that I was pulled over an not the truck! The third when I was in Wichita. I was invited to a co-workers house to play poker at 7:30pm. I left at 10:30 and was hungry as hell. I was in town so the speed limit is 35. I was driving between 30 and 35 and was concentrating on looking for a McDonalds. Suddenly I was pulled over. I was told that the speed limit is 20 mph. WTF, 20mph and not even a school zone. When I told my co-worker, they immediately know where I got my ticket. They told me that it is a small city located within Wichita. The 20 mph is only for 1 block then it turns back to 35 mph. This is the place where all the filthy rich people in Wichita live. The dont want young punks with supped up rice imports driving more than 20 mph in their neighbourhood. Sucked big time. I will never drive through there again.
I got pictures...unfortunately I dont know how to add it to a post. If someone as to be so kind to give me some pointers........
