What's your wish list for your car?
Lets not go TOO crazy here.... I know everyone wants a twin turbo setup and this that and the other but I thought it would be interesting to just see everyone's wish lists for their cars. try to limit it to things you might get in the next 6 months or year... pics are 
I won't be getting all of these of course, but at least one or two! I can't decide whether I should get an off-road Y-pipe (straight piping), one with a cutout or with cats.... I might even forego the catback and find a stock exhaust and put some nice quad tips on it.
Magnaflow catback
Kooks longtube headers
SLP grill to replace ugly license-plate-having grill
4300k HID kit low beams/fogs

Oh dear Jeezuz! lol Those headers look siiiiiiiiiick.
I'm actually stuck in a rut with wish lists..
Either get some A-spec wheels for the CL along with some nice coilovers and be done with it...
Or sell the CL and get one of these
GTI VR6 ^
Decisions decisions..

^but I thought the 1.8T can nevAr lose? 
I've always liked Mk. IVs, I was real close to getting one before I got my car. What CL do you have, a 2G? Never seen those with A-Specs before
^^oh and the Vredesteins I have are great summer tires.... I think nbennettksu has them on his CL also if you want to ask him about them

Tint, HID fogs, and new tires are probably the only other things I will actually do to my car. Maybe score some cheap replica rims if I get a good job this summer, but I'd rather wait and save my money to afford a true sports car

I'm picking up the Eibach prokit next month with my tire change. Also geting some 20mm spacers all around to eliminate tuck. Later this year I'm getting 20's (hopefully I can afford some Volk GT30's)....

GS430 - FI and all the necessary trimmings... no body mods except a slight drop, and larger OEM wheels... keep the oem exhaust with an electronic cut out before the cat... (want to keep it sleeper looking and sounding) :evilgrin:
07TL - i would be happy with an ASPEC package (suspension, lip kit, wheels) on the outside, and then a CT SC...
98TL - i'm done with it... aftermarket parts are so hard to find for it...
Corolla - S lip kit, wheels and suspension...TRD SC...

What are the expected power gains from the APR reflash? What about an RS4 euro wheel as well? Can't wait to see it done.As for me,
M5: I've been trying to sell it for the past two months. I had one serious buyer but he couldn't get financed...I have someone else coming in Saturday.
Odyssey: Find a new front bumper because I was hit Sunday by a lady in a Jaguar while I was stopped at a light.
Tint the two front windows to match the OEM rear. Some wheels later on hopefully MDX's Tech or Sport.Tundra: Find a worthy replacement because lease is over..I test drove the new F150 this weekend and liked it. 55k asking price is quite steep however.
MX-5 : Hope summer gets here fast.

That's the graph for the APR reflash running 93 octane. Unfortunately, we don't get 93 octane out here in California so I'll have to get the 91 octane tune which brings output down to 232hp/273lb-f at the crank. I'm happy with a 73lb-f boost in torque from stock.
I'm sure I won't see these exact numbers, but from everything I've heard from people that have done it, it's a night and day difference. I might squeeze out a little bit more power with the intercooler and exhaust upgrade, but not that much. For the price of the APR reflash, it's a great mod for the amount of power you get. 
Unfortunately APR's new Stage III turbo upgrade requires an upgraded transmission so there's no way I'm doing that upgrade, if a stage 1 turbo upgrade reappears I may consider it, but it's still a very pricey upgrade. In fact, it costs more than half of what my integra is currently worth!

^73 lbs-ft of torque is definitely noticeable. I've been in an Audi with the flat bottom RS4 steering and it's sexy as hell. You lose the controls though but I think it's hawt. Any plans for wheels or keeping them stock?

Some of the guys are swapping with the TT Flat wheel instead so they can keep their steeering wheel controls which is another option, but I'd rather spend the money on other stuff first. As for wheels, I'm gonna keep em stock for now since I like em so much. It was one of the reasons I went with the Titanium Package in the first place. I have looked at alternative wheels, but a good set is $2K+ and for that much money I'd rather dump it into the suspension and engine tweaks first. Although I'm not completely sold on modifying the suspension yet because of how bad the roads are in some areas over here. My Integra is pretty damn low and I'm always worried something bad will happen. I don't want to be worried about both cars.
Oh and I do have an RS4 Sway bar sitting in my house. I just don't have wheel ramps to get my car sitting on so I can install it.

Just ordered a CT short shift and LED tail lights, so I'm pretty good for a month or so.
I do need to get a new windshield now that mine has a huge spiderweb from the rock that hit it this weekend. Damn semis.
Maybe after that a re-tint and I've been thinking about an engine torque damper and a new strut bar. Not high on the priority list though.

No room in
For starters, A-spec suspension, Progress RSB, 18" wheels w/ nice 235/40/18 tires (TSX stock tires are awful), Hondata reflash, CT Icebox CAI. The cost of those alone will take me a while to accomplish...

I've been looking at getting this one for my Integra (the link below is for the '03 Accord)
http://www.ingallseng.com/parts/ETD/93041.htm
However, it lists the 4cylinder model, don't know if yours is v6 and if it's even compatible with the v6 model.
And dont' be scared at the price, they can be bought from many shops for under $140 easy!
