I know what you mean when you say budget but sooner or later your going to realize that you are better having little of good stuff than a lot of crap stuff if you get what I mean. If you can't afford to mod it than just leave it stock. There is nothing wrong with that.

I didn't say what he has on the car now is crap I'm giving him future advice. But rather than getting a lot of different parts that are just "meh" he could save the money and get something real nice.

haha thanks, my stupid driveway is so narrow that after a few months of scraping every time up and down it finally cracked, but still looks better than stock.

totally your call, I just thought it was a ghetto way of trying to throw a nismo tag on your car, something that came in a package from something you bought :] if he's hooked you up and you are doing that for him, it's a little different.

i got the exhaust from a member's friend i think? so it was privately bought. if you hit up andy@performance he can special order one for you. dont know how much though.
