Talking Neiliux's STi

Neiliux's STi
-----------------------------
-----------------------------
I've always been interested in cars however I always put it in the back of my mind until 08/2007 when enough was enough and I brought home my baby, a new '07 Aspen White STi w/ 22 miles on it. Ever since I've had the car I’ve been researching the technology behind the STi and performance cars in general. A few months after purchase I had the dealer install a SPT cat-back and intake (now I regret paying the dealer for the install, what a joke to have them do the work, right?). I am at the point now where I am working on the car in my garage, doing maintenance, springs, custom interior painting, etc. I've got mod fever now and I am constantly thinking about things I can do to the car.

Current Mods (Performance, Interior, Custom, just everything I’ve done to it)
--------------------------------
- SPT Cat-back
- SPT Intake
- SPT Short-throw shifter
- SPT Turbo-gauge
- SPT Titanium Shift knob package
- Rear wing removed
(Stuck white vinyl tape on the holes, ugly!)
- Painted the center console metallic blue. The lip for the cigarette lighter/aux input is metallic black. I left the brushed aluminum STi trim around the shift boot alone.
- Removed the OEM radio/door speakers (what crap), Installed Focal components in the front doors, two amps are mounted on the back seat. Two 10" JBL subs reside in the trunk.

Soon to be mods:
-----------------
- RallyArmor flaps (currently in the mail)
- Cobb Springs
- HKS DP
(Not sure if going cat-less is what I need or want but I want to get a true turbo-back setup so I can get the most out of an AccessPort tune)
- Black 18" wheels w/ a red stripe (Not sure on the exact brand of wheel yet, if you have suggestions please let me know).
- AccessPort
- Spark Plugs? From what I've read you can get a small increase in power but I am not convinced yet and think this might be BS.
- Rear door speakers need to go, will replace with a set of Focals
- Replacing current amp that drivers the door speakers with a larger 4-channel since the amp that drives the subs overpowers.

Tires:
-----
- Stock Potenza's (of course...)
- For winter I wrapped the car around Fuzion ZRIs and I must say they SUCK!

Pics:
--------
(Need to get a place to host them first).
