I need to get interested in my P5 again...

[nu2mep5]

so here I am, I've had my 2003 P5 almost 2 years, and I'm getting bored. Its completely stock.
I just graduated, got a real job now, and want to spice it up? any suggestions please?
I know theres mod-threads, but I'm a new teacher, and have no time to sit and search. I'd appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks!

lower it and throw some black wheels on it. That would be the first thing Id do. Then after that Id do a injen CAI and slap a Greddy Evo2 Catback on it with some sort of Midpipe. And you would be golden. My 2cent though. Is the car a auto or manual and what color is it?

car details

thanks for the ideas!
My car is a 2003 P5, sunlight silver, Sport AT. Having an automatic stinks, but at 6'6" I couldn't shift a 5 speed without my knees hitting the wheel. being able to shift a automatic was the closest I could get!
The mods you suggested, where's the best place to purchase parts? Online? I live in Lethbridge, so I don't know if theres anything good here.
I like the ideas of the conversions, but I'm not sold on black wheels. Don't mind the gun-metal though.
All your input is appreciated, thanks again!

There are a couple of things you can do to spice it up.

Get the eibachs, this will give you a new type of ride. If you like it, then get swaybars, and so on.
HID projectors, you will love it, problem is, its a custom job.
Replace Radio with a Carputer and LCD, awesome features (music, video, gps, games, handsfree celphone, obdII monitor, etc).
Change the bulbs inside with xenons or colored.
Upgrade Sound System

Im happy with all that above. And of course turbo, but I think that becomes more a headache because it requires a lot more care. Probably an Intake can do the job well for a small power pickup an feel.

group buy for HID kits. heard he's a really good vendor here on the forums and the kit is a good price. i'm thinking of getting one too xD

Wait for the local crew to SHOW you what you can do then just pick the ideas from them. They'll even help you.

local crew?

hey Brandon,
I get what you're saying, but not where your saying. I live in Lethbridge AB, and from I see, the only people driving p5's done here are bed-shitters. haha, seriously though, I don't even know where I would start down here. Although, I make frequent trips up to Calgary. I was gonna head to Mazda in the mountains last summer but ended up out of town.
