I kinda like the center caps "chrome". Already have been contemplating a drop with tein springs. Just don't want to lose the comfy ride. I think exhaust is next on the list.

Skip the exhaust for now and get the springs/shocks. Grab some H&R springs and Koni Sport yellow shocks for comfort and reliability.

The problem with the J32 engine in our car is most aftermarket cat-back exhausts hooked up to it produce drone. It may make the car sound awesome on the outside (like mine), but can leave you with deep vibration and drone at lower rpms. Personally, after having the Greddy exhaust for a few years I'm ready to go back to stock. If you want a little more sound get the mid muffler removed and replaced with piping (not the resonator closer to the cat).

Also, if you're going to drop hundreds on an exhaust go for 3-1 DC Sports ceramic headers for $400 instead. You'll see gains of ~20 hp at the wheels (dyno tested by other members). Much better use of your money.

Nice look. Get her dropped and she'll be a bombshell.

Yeah I have researched the exhaust aspect quite a bit. I will do the mid muff delete and axle back mufflers. I might wait till next summer to lower it. I live in Minnesota and our summer came rather late this year so winter is just around the corner!
