You had 2 sets of Rotas, you shouldnt be hating brotha'
No. Theyre fine, people just hate because their replicas but they are lightweight and high quality. As long as you take care of em they wont break.
YES!!!!! If your shocks are fine you can get the Skunk2's so you can blow them. Get some Koni Yellows, theyre great shocks and can handle a good drop. If your shocks are blown youre going to get a bouncy ride.
screw the alarm...you're better off with a quick release steering wheel lock...nice platform to start out..
I was about to just order the GReddy exhaust and AEM SRI at procivic and my total was like $615.
I saw where someone was talking about the Apexi WS2, and it was also an exhaust I'd liked so I went to ModaCar, headers, exhaust, and intake are right at $663. They also have a good deal on the Rotas I like with Kumho wheels, so wheels, tires, springs, and shocks will be my next buy. Then I'll have to calm down a bit.

f**k aem intakes. waste of money. get an ebay intake and swap the filter on it. that will save you at least $100
as for the exhaust. the WS2 is probably the most popular, and its pretty good on the wallet. if youre savvy, get an ebay catback 2.5" stainless system and buy a quality universal muffler to have installed by a shop. that will probably save you another $100.
rotas are ok for street wheels. the problems that occur with most replica wheels are when people try to take them to the track with slicks and drag radials on them. they just cant handle the stress/load and they break

x2 and y are you buying so much s**t for a single slammer?
save your money for a swap...
So I've started purchasing mods. My Motegi FF7 gunmetal's came in today, hopefully will have tires on Monday. Ordered an AEM short ram intake and passenger side door handle. The other day my dad was opening the door and the handle came off, it had dried on super glue so we figure the owner before us pulled it off during the winter. Will hopefully by buying an indash deck and speakers this week also. Put my subs in my trunk the other day, not hooked up yet. Got a hell of a deal on them. My sister bought them a couple years back, she got a new car, never installed them in the new car and just gave em to me.
Like the rims great color choice with white thats what i did on mine went with a gunmetal-greyish color.
