Damn close!

CF window spoiler and CSL Style CF Rear Diffuser. Still on the hunt for side sills and a front lip...

Rear window spoiler or door windows? If E46 has rimless windows that answers that question.

Cosmetic to start... still up in the air about exhaust. Everything I read says they're pretty much for sound... little to no gains. So it's pretty low on the list. I'd rather get an exhaust for the Tundra to finish off the header install and open up some nice HP...

I like where your head is at.

I don't know what your plans are long term but if it were me, I would get some aggressive summer tires, slightly more aggressive alignment, and of course getting a refreshed set of KW V3 dampers.

Tires will come due likely next year. Rears have a few thousand miles left in them so probably something I'll need to do next summer. Likely won't touch the suspension, but will do some tire research when the time comes.

For value, you really can't beat any of the Hankook Ventus RS* tires - mounted and balanced it was around $700 for a set. I have a few more AutoX days before I need to replace the rears (20,000 miles or so)

I have the discontinued version 2 of the RS3s and man, they STICK - the RS4s are even better!

This is good info to know. I have been looking at these for the TSX for the back mountain roads. I want something sticky. I thinkt he RS3 looks better than the RS4 though. Just wish they made them in 245/40/18

Well, I'd assume this means you get to drive now but we all know you have been anyway.
