Performance:
Injen CAI
Draxas Ex. mani (hopefully they fixed the fitment problem)
Magnaflow ex.
Fuel managment (injectors, pump, rail....but i dont know anything about that!)

Suspension:
Full GT spec line
MS camber kit
pro-line lowering springs
struts + shocks (know nothing about the 3's suspension)

Cosmetic:
Blue or smoked headlight film from rockblocker.com
not that eribuni crap but the real thing
carbon fiber hood
bmw lights(know nothing about that)

brakes:
Green stuff pads
New calapers
drilled rotors

So any insight would be MUCH apprish!

Nice way to spend a cpl grand.

yeah seriously do you want to get it all??? you prob don't need to upgrade fuel with that list of mods...and getting these things installed isn't going to be cheap especially the body pieces if you get a kit... just so you know.

Performance:
Injen CAI good
Draxas Ex. mani (hopefully they fixed the fitment problem) not sure
Magnaflow ex. not my choice, ARK or Vibrant
Fuel managment (injectors, pump, rail....but i dont know anything about that!) I don't think there is much out there and I wouldn't go there if you don't know much about it.

Suspension:
Full GT spec line Do you want a race car or street car?
MS camber kit good
pro-line lowering springs Eibach Pro Kit?
struts + shocks (know nothing about the 3's suspension) Mazdaspeed or Koni (Brand New)

Cosmetic:
Blue or smoked headlight film from rockblocker.com Good
not that eribuni crap but the real thing
carbon fiber hood I like them, but not sure about brands
bmw lights(know nothing about that) I wouldn't count on it unless you want to spend mucho dinero

brakes:
Green stuff pads Not sure
New calapers You need new Willwood brakes maybe $2500
drilled rotors cool looking but they could crack under a lot of heat

So any insight would be MUCH apprish![/QUOTE]

hehe me = blue

Performance:
Injen CAI good No comment, I have the Umnitza and looking to switch to CAI for no particular reason, just want something shiney and new. Probably go with the AEM.
Draxas Ex. mani (hopefully they fixed the fitment problem) not sure Vibrant has one comming out as well as another one that there is info on in the F\S section. None out at this time that fit right and draxas is redesigning to get rid of the CEL problem too.
Magnaflow ex. not my choice, ARK or Vibrant Ill second the Vibrant, sounds real nice. No drone on the freeway at all.
Fuel managment (injectors, pump, rail....but i dont know anything about that!) I don't think there is much out there and I wouldn't go there if you don't know much about it. Not needed with the intake header exhaust mods.

Suspension:
Full GT spec line Do you want a race car or street car?
MS camber kit good
pro-line lowering springs Eibach Pro Kit?
struts + shocks (know nothing about the 3's suspension) Mazdaspeed or Koni (Brand New)
No clue w\ suspension. (cheers)
Cosmetic:
Blue or smoked headlight film from rockblocker.com Good
not that eribuni crap but the real thing
carbon fiber hood I like them, but not sure about brands Id wait til some more companies made c\f hoods and see how fitment is on them.
bmw lights(know nothing about that) I wouldn't count on it unless you want to spend mucho dinero I love my DDE's, favorite mod so far I think.

brakes:
Green stuff pads Not sure nothing but good words about them.
New calapers You need new Willwood brakes maybe $2500 Why change calipers? Stock are pretty good, give them some character and paint them.
drilled rotors cool looking but they could crack under a lot of heat

So any insight would be MUCH apprish!
