Scarface how do you like the Borla? It's what I'm considering with a JWT Popcharger atm ... If I don't go with the Borla, I'll probably go with the Stillen ...

I understand it's considerably louder than stock at an idle ... I can deal with a little louder ... is it "look at me" loud? Last article I read, the Borla produced more HP than the Stillen and was a little lighter as well ... which will make up for my heavier wheels ...

I just don't want any extra 'look at me' ... the car does that all by itself without mods ...

^^ If you have borla + popcharger the sound is nice. if you added test pipes then you'll get 'look at me' sound. I have the borla, popcharger and crawford cats, the sound is just like what I wanted it to be. not extremely loud and not so quite, just perfect.

Depends on what you want, performance or looks?

Tint, Pop Charger, Short Antenna (Honda S200), Exhaust, Plenum Spacer, Wheels and Tires, Body Kit

Any of those would be a good start and +1 to whoever said, "Learn to drive a little better"

I need to see a timeslip from you because those times are amazing with that trap speed.

EDIT Nevermind, I searched and found them. Damned impressive driving there.

And also get some nismo stickers, and paint the hoses in the engine bay and add some lights underneath the car and you're set for the drag strip!!!

Edit: Also look at my mods below
