downgrade your OEM 18 or 19 to 17, lighter and faster
it is a mod, for performance, not for the look
some people do downgrade for track purpose
SAVE MONEY TOO, you dont spend $$ but get $$ back

The lighting mods are probably the cheapest mods with the biggest bang. I pretty much got them all:
1. 6000K HID fogs.
2. 6000K HID headlights (to match the fogs).
3. LED reverse lights.
4. LED license plate lights.
5. LED interior lights.
6. 8500K GP Thunder AE bulbs
7. Stealth turn signal bulbs.
The LED eyebrow mod looks very nice as well.
I agree that the Sprinter Booster, which I have, is another low cost mod that makes your first gear feel a lot faster.
The RPI Ram Air kit is quite cheap as well (about $184 to buy new and 7-12 bhp gain).
