Red LEDs under the radio. It looks great in person lighting up the shifter. I plan on adding some in the cup holders and in the rear to illuminate my subs.

Tein S-Tech lowering springs. The drop these springs give the car I think balance it out perfectly as far as appearance and performance. It has little to no body roll now and sticks the the pavement like a Ferrari.
