Nothing
The cost to hp ratio gains says too much money for too little power for NA. With turbo, you're in the hands of your shop; and it's a game I'm not willing to play in Hawaii.
Just planning on dress-up. Carbing strut bar & radiator panel, Amuse/ARC intake pipe, '05 air box, etc. Then concentrate on the interior. It's an on-going, slow project. But plans always change. So we'll see.
But thanks for the comments guys.

Nice car! I love the wheels! Great pictures too!!
On a side note, what lugnuts are you using? It looks like there's a fair bit of rust in there but I guess that's a small downside to living in Hawaii and using open ended lugs. Is the rust just on the lugs or on the threads also?

I can tell you that it's definitely not the lugs that is rusting. I did check the condition of the studs, and they seem to be fine.

Wow, China...
I'm always perplexed when ppl call my car "clean."
What does "clean" actually mean? I thought it was debadged and stickerless cars
"Clean" sounds positive, so thanks.
BTW, I switched the lights back to the stock reds, and will get red LEDs later.
