How much are you looking to spend? Are you building for performance, show, or just screwing around?

i'd say change back the lights and get an intake

Intake for more power, or suspension for better handling.

i am just looking to spend money on the car. dont have a price range in mind on how much i want to spend.

would like more hp. was thinking about an air intake but i dont think anything is out yet for my car. am i right? i know i will definitely get rims once winter is over. but want one, two, or three more mods before the rims.

well you've already got the catback exhaust so I'd try finding a intake and headers for now...after i find an intake I'd buy some shocks and springs for when you get ur rims so it'll look nice wit the rims, car will have a good stance...

the exhaust was done at a custom shop. are there places that make custom intakes, if there is such a thing? any websites that i could check out?

iv'e never seen websites that make custom intakes but iv'e heard of people making like home mad intakes....i guess all you is to get a tube like the intakes have thats the same length and design as your stock intake and get a filter which shouldn't be too hard...

thats nice too but i wouldn't have that as my only way to get some mad hp. There is nothign like coming out of a turn and putting the gas down to hear a turbo spool up. Its not the same as spraying your way out of a turn.

In his shoes i would turbo, boost 10-14psi (and all thats needed to do that), enjoy the power he gets from that and when hes gotten used to that much more power then think about adding an no2 system. You have to remember, a turbo is always there, you can run out of no2.

They don't have a turbo for his car...
so it'd be crazy expensive for him a custom setup...

Well, I'd say you should get an intake, since you dont already have one. I say get the Comptech Icebox, its much better and safer than these stupid Hot-Air intakes like mine, plus the filter is not exposed.

I'm not sure about that, when i looked into turboing my RL there was only one part i needed to have made for me. I checked it out and it would have run me about $400 more then a regular set up. There were othere issues that stopped me from doing this, one being the 5grand i would have needed otherwise...

but it can be done.. though i'm no expert

custom turbo can be done. the hardest part will be having the intake manifold and downpipe. other than that it's pretty easy

ok from all these posts, i am starting to get giddy all over thinking about what to do. thanks for the advice first of all. i want to get a turbocharger but like Kyle said, it would be too expensive right now. but the turbo may be something later on....dayam you guys!!! i want turbo!!! ;( but nah too much money...

i'll look into air intakes. that should give me a little more hp and give an even better sound to my exhaust right?

if im not mistaken it should make ur exhaust sound better since you'll have like more air flow...when my brother put his shortram intake on his 92 accord it made his engine kinda "roar" more when he reved it...:crazy:
