Mod Questions??

So I put the clear bumper lights on and they look sweet and I put the side markers on (thanx to 96TL) and I like them but know I'm stuck. I am in the thinking about getting the inspire rear lights and I see that this site has it but I can't see paying 5 bills. I see that Value has them too but I don't know how much he charges for shipping but I see he's selling them for 325. Are these the only two places you can get them? And value if you are reading how much is it to ship to Boston and is the 325 for Two? I also added the K&N airfilter and I don't know if I really notice a difference or am I just wishing for a change. So if any one knows what should you expect from and airfilter as far as performance?

Next is Eibach prokit and the type S rims then I don't know suggestions please.

TLover8888,
I live right in Boston. The south end actually. What school did you go to? I go to B.U. now. Reefers what is a CAI set up? I hear people saying that they have changed the plugs and wires and all that but I have not hit 60K, I have not reached 50K yet. I have only 44K and I am trying to keep the miles low as possible but will it make a difference if I change all of those things what are all of things you need to change to make it run smoother, accel faster etc.

CAI is Cold Air Intake. Cold air is denser than warm air, so theoretically if you force cold air into your engine, you will increase the energy produced by the air-gas combustion. It will give the car a kind of metallic whir, make it sound kinda tough. (do not confuse this noise with the muffler farting of a rice-rocket) I dont know if plugs and wires have much to do with making it run smoother, I thik they will just aid you ever so slightly in the horsepower department. whatever you do, easy on that tranny!

TLover8888 I work right across the street from Suffolk Law school. What will the different wires and spark plugs do? I am assuming that they are after market or does it really make a difference?

thats cool man...
plugs and wires (the right ones) do make a little difference, but let me stress little. its not like youre going to gain any significant HP. maybe, a slightly better take off.
