what to do next before winter hits

Im feeling the need for a mod before winter hits...saving wheels, suspension, and oem kit for the spring
Already have tint, weather tech visors, debadged, blue led interior bulbs, painted calipers, foglights are coming...

I think progress RSB would be the best decision, any opinions?
Possibly modify the headlights, grill, etc.

CAI, RSB, winter tires (if you live in an area that gets snow), Short Shifter (obviously if you're not a 5AT), etc etc... there is tons out there, take your pick.

Of the mainstream mods, I'd go with either CAI or RSB.

I would add to the mix all weather floor mats. The mats saved me A LOT of cleaning during the wet winter months. I kept them in year round because I like the look of the black mats with the quartz interior.

with the price of the mods considered... I'd probably go CAI 1st. You'll like it especially as it gets a little colder out. I love my progress RSB, however it might not do you any good if the ground is going to be wet/covered in snow because you wont be able to push the car as much.

All seaons mats are crutial... i got mine the day after i picked up my 07

On the all season mats - I have camel interior i think its called (04, black, auto), and the stock floor mats suck since the color is so light and they get dirty as hell. I was going to opt for the black floor mats, but you guys seem to like the all weather floor mats. Do they look just as good, if not better, than the regular floor mats? Im just scared they will look cheap.
If I were to get a CAI itd be from comptech...is theirs a short ram intake? Ive searched for threads on it but havent found what I wanted to hear. My first car was an Acura CL 3.0 and I slapped a generic CAI on with a K&N filter and when I turned my car off the intake made a noise like it was sucking in air which I didnt like. I dont know if that is with any and every intake or not.
To those with a comptech icebox - What sorts of noises does it make..Eg: Is it loud under certain rpms?
I pretty much just want a quiet intake at low rpms.
Ill probably go with all season mats, rsb, and CAI.

yeah get the all seasons from acura... try ebay thats where I got mine and my cargo tray... they look nice.

as for the CAI its your call on what you like. I hear awesome things about the icebox. I got mine from weapon-r.com... it spits out a good amount of gains but it does make a little hiss like you said you didn't want. maybe go with an injen, aem or fujita depending on how much you want to spend.

Yea, im not too fond of the hissing, but I mean if its on all and any intakes, I cant avoid it. I looked on honda acura world and they have the mats for 102 + shipping. How much did you get yours for?

i think some hiss more than others... my weapon-r has 2 air chambers so it probably hisses more than most others. maybe just stick with either the icebox or a short ram from aem.

as for the all season mats
i believe i paid $74.99 +shipping cuz i got them in the summer. the demand will be a lot higher now because of winter approching.

i'd say track this one here and if you don't win it for under $89 just buy the other ones.
