Sup!

I've had my stock red 2k GT-S for a few months now, and am looking at major/minor upgrade possibilities.

I'm interested in hearing what you guys would do if you were in my position with a fresh stock GT-S and wanted to make some changes.

What would be the first 5 things you would do?

Thanks!

Hey guys when u say "red out stock tails" does that apply to the '03 GTS? because on mine they look pretty damn good already and barely show yellow signals. Please be kind enough to refer to which tailights u mean... and please show me where i can find a pic of them. Thanks a lot!

if u have the facelift tails-
just replace the orange/yellow bulb with a red bulb-honestly I don't like yellow turn signals IMO
take out the butterfly (cuz it's free)

but i would say:
1.intake
2.exhaust
3.drop/rims
4.bodykit

sounds stupid but it works. Take out that "butterfly" in your airbox. your engine will sound deeper and respond better.

Butterfly is a valve that opens and closes in your airbox. Taking it out supposable gives you more hp. I think it just makes it louder.

its really all up to you. whether you want speed first, or you want looks. i prefer looks, so i would go with:

body kit
rims
intake
exhaust
headers
