Hi guys!

First post on here even though I have been a member for a while and I thought I'd post a few pictures of my car that my friend took last year, especially since I'm considering a few mods. The only difference from these pictures is that I have changed the halogen bulbs to LED White Halos, but other than that it's stock. Hope you guys enjoy!

Thanks!

At the moment I'm thinking Vertini VS01 wheels and a 35is rear diffuser because it looks more aggressive. As for power, definitely an Eisenman race exhaust system and possibly an intake by aFe.

Other mods are still up in the air if you have any suggestions!

Sounds good bro!

I can't speak from experience, but apparently the MHD flash and JB4 are very proven and tested. So I'd say research them and go down that route for a stage 1/2/2+ tune. Best way to get the most out of the N54 and the supporting mods you're looking to get

We'll see about flash tunes, but I mostly want to focus on handling and visuals. I'd rather not mess with reliability by shoving power into the car without upgrading the cooling system completely and the other areas where extra power might put on excessive ware . Even though tuners say that reliability is not compromised with their products, I take that with a grain of salt

No I agree with you, I won't be mapping until I've upgraded the stock charge pipe as that's the weakest area when boost is upped. An upgraded intercooler is on the list too. Though I'd like to upgrade the brakes too! Much to do, not enough money.

Very nice photos! Tastefully done.

I see you are in NJ. I do some Bear Mountain runs with friends from the area. If you're interested I can let you know next time we do a run...

Thanks! Bear Mountain is quite the run!
