Just bought a 2014 ilx 2.0

I recently purchased a salvage 14 ilx with 40k miles on it for a little less than 9k. I am fresh out of law school and unemployed, not to mention a new father. So when the transmission on my 05 Pontiac grand Prix went out I wanted to buy a reasonably new car that would last longer than the Pontiac and would also be a step up in luxury. I also disnt want a car loan to add to my mountain of law school debt. I'm pretty happy with the ilx. The interior is comfortable and has waaay more features than my last car and I really like the styling of the exterior. I'm planning on making some mods to it when I have the money. It came with aftermarket wheels (which look pretty good on it) but I'm thinking of lowering it and I'm starting to look around for things I can do to get more power or a more satisfying sound from the engine. Any suggestions are much appreciated. Looking forward two reading all your posts!

Super hard to eek out power from the 2.0 and you have an automatic...
forego the performance mods and enjoy your car, mang.

If you want sound, you can do the free intake resonator delete mod... And if you want even more sounds, head to exhaust shop and have them cut out the mid-muffler and weld in a straight pipe for like $60.

STI lip


I just installed a 06 STI lip.i accidentally cut the top of it so I had to cut the whole top part off lol. But I'm actually kinda happy with how it turned out because now it sits higher and it barely ever scrapes the ground. I wanted to get the oem kit and install the lip on that but it was too expensive so I went the cheap route and bought this for 40 bucks from a guy on Craigslist lol
