So I have the RPI Exhaust, RPI Scoop + Filter, LED License Plate Lights, Sprint Booster and 19s Mtech Rims (forgot the name). I was thinking about LED AE (I'll contact brabus about those before going back home) but what else should I consider for my next mods? I still don't know my budget but it depends on the mod I guess.

Mtech body kit from trinity. Your wheels (172s) look nice, but will look amazing with the kit IMO!

I dont know... maybe you should get the M5 replicas side mirrors, it will make a difference on the look of the car, prob more sporty and aggressiveness, and get carbon front kidney grills, these are nice....

However, if you are looking for some serious mods, I would go with H&R springs for suspension, make it a bit of a sporty drive.

+1 on suspension

I installed H&R anti roll bars last week, and they have transformed the car. I can not believe how different the handling feels now.

This is how it should have come off the production line, period.

The reason I can't go for suspension is because of the speed bumps

So getting springs won't lower it ? I already have a hard time getting it over some of the retarded speed bumps
