I am about to close a deal on one of these, car is mint and it is stock. The car is Tectite Gray Metallic and is STUNNING

What mods have you guys done for performance, what packages and what #'s do these car put down? What is cost as well of packages?

Thanks

 

I'm shopping for a family sedan as well and what i have researched so far is to avoid '03 and '04 model years...
Renntech ECU upgrade can net you around 50-60 more ponies....Cost wise i think it's around $2000 but i could be wrong...

 

Why avoid the 04'

I posted some differences between the model years a few months ago in this forum, try searching my posts. 03 doesn't have Nav, I don't think.

Awesome car, are you buying from a dealer?

 

I think what is important is to go with a tuner you know that will help with support if you need it. Maybe find who one of your local tuners use and start your research from there.

I have had great personal experiences with RENNtech, but I'm sure everyone here has also had good experiences from LET, VRP and Kleemann as well.

For me having someone local to me was more important then saving a few bucks.

 

The car will be here Sunday. I had the LET Stg 2 installed while it was at the dealer in Chicago.

I will update once I have some seat time in it

Would you mind sharing mileage,options and ofcourse the price ? Hopefully i'll be buying one soon...
