Help with a new build


I am trying to make my car look like it could be an OEM sports version of the car (like the Type S) without making it look exactly like a Type S. I also want it to be faster than a Type S or anything else it can compare to. Any suggestions on mods?

swap a six speed manual transmission into it. will have two benefits. stronger than automatic and wont have to worry about auto trans failing....

and it will make your car faster. as its lighter than an automatic and better gearing

I wish I would've asked this question before my trans failed. I just paid for a stronger automatic one to be built for it and I was thinking in my head the whole time to go manual

aww boo!
you're probably better off not modding it....as the only things that will make it go faster is a supercharger or turbo charger.

just make it look nice with sporty exterior mods!!

that was the plan, I just have no idea where to start. I knoe I probably will end up putting the 99 tail lights back on since EVERYONE has the 02,03 lights that I have
