pioneer 8" shallow mount free air sub (in place of the stock bose sub) powered by a 250 memphis amp

re-do the tint on the back glass and rear passenger window( i messed up the tint by having to have it done asap. did it my self and ruined it.
smoked tail lights
smoked fog lights
hyper blue fog and high beam bulbs
wheels- possibly 20" going for a more VIP look.
i do love the stock 18" or 17" from the more recent model TLs
not making the decision yet
mostly cosmetic stuff at the moment not trying to do any major mods to the engine but im sure the trans needs to be looked at
also i am thinking of a roof rack system for my snow board
and a trailer hitch so i can put a scooter rack and haul my 09 honda ruckus when i go on beach trips.
i am open to suggestions.
this is my first post so i figured this
would be a good place to start and get to know a few people.
don't shame me if i did something wrong
i just need some direction.
