Some things I plan for the future are:

1. Change the grill with a custom unit. Tried but failed with a home made one.
2. Install a rear spoiler;
3. Change the wheels with 16" alloy rims, and 205 40R16 tires;
4. Change the springs and shock absorbers with better units, therefore lowering the car between 2 to 4 inches, depending on handling and wheel rub;
5. Change the antenna of the car for a fin;
6. Install a lip kit;
7. Install proper eye lids on the main lights;
8. Repaint the car (planned for 2009); and
9. Change the steering wheel with a Momo Evolution.

Here are the links to my first two cars.

SERIA BONITO VERLO CON DOBLE TONO, NEGRO ARRIBA Y CON LA PARRILLA MODIFICADA COMO EL MIO.

ADEMAS LAS HALOGENAS ORIGINALES QUE LAS VENDEN EN ITTA AUTOPARTES EN AUTODEPOT, FRENTE AL CRISOL.

SE LE PUEDE ADAPTAR UN SPOILERS, EN ZONA LIBRE SALEN EN 70.00

PARA VER, ADENTRO SE PARECE MUCHISIMO AL MIO, MISMO EQUIPO,
SOLO LE CAMBIARIA EL TABLERO, EL TIMON LA PALANCA DE CAMBIOS Y OTROS DETALLITOS EN FIBRA DE CARBON.

MI CORREO ES joelsmile18@hotmail.com

Si deseas que te de una mano me avisas.
