i am finally giving into the modbug...so help please lol

So last december i picked up an 07 slate grey on natural leather 6 speed turbo.

Right off the bat i dropped it on h&r springs to give it the lowered stance.
Then i purchased an FVD brombacher exhaust(which i removed 2 months ago due to personal reasons)

and just recently i put on some spacers front and back

Anyway the mod bug has officially bit me.

I wan to make the turbo stick out in a positive way, however on a budget.

I plan on putting the exhaust back on, getting softronic ECU, air filter....and then...

I am considering a bodykit, possibly the NR auto techart replica front/rear bumper as well as possibly a vorstiener or techart spoiler.
i am also thinking that i may just get a front lip and a new spoiler to cut cost.

Additionally i am considering purchasing some wheels, but i will leave that for later so lets not get into that


So any suggestions?

Thanks
-Sam

Welcome Sam!

We can provide a tune and high flow filters which is a great start. We use our exhaust system on everything from 575bhp to 1000+bhp, it is proven to flow and sound good doing it.

Let me know if there is anything I can help you with, please send me an email or call.

All the best,

The techart replica would be nice..just make sure everything lines up right..i would hate to see a 997 with a civic bodykit fitment..Switzer is also the way to go for power..my friends have some of their stuff on their gtrs and 911s and their amazing..they sound sickk and deliver great power and are very reliable...in regards to wheels..without a doubt go with D2forged...check them out on their site d2forged.com...they have done a ton of 911s and they all look incredible...the wheels are amazing and durable not to mention light weight..i have personally dealt with them and they by far have the best customer service....good luck..and post some pics as the mods go on

Sam the mod bug happens to most of us sooner or later.

There are lots of good vendors and lots of good products so you'll get lots of good replies. Everyone has their personal favorites.

Satisfy yourself, not the rest of us. Don't let a peer committee design it for you.

Pick what you like and ask if anyone has had problems with your selection and if not go with it.

Good luck and have fun.

Well personally I wouldnt switch out the bumper for the NR ones unless you have aftermarket wheels or else it just seems weird?

Ok so i think this is my plan....


NR auto techart gt street replica front/rear bumper
NR auto techart gt street replica Spoiler


Matte Red vinyl job possibly


Havent decided wheels yet, but thinking some nice black or maybe brushed aluminum HRE's


Then i will put my FVD exhuast back on, and get an ECU tune.

Sounds like a plan?

These mods will create a base that i can create the real monster out of afterwords lol

p.s. Any sponsorships for my little project are welcome

good choice on color . I've added techart type 1 front spoiler and rear wing, plus GT2 side skirts. there are pics here somewhere if you search under my name.

plan out your mods carefully otherwise you'll end up doing things multiple times and spending a lot more.
