I need some advice on what to do to my Spyder. Here's what I was thinking:

Cosmetic:

New rims - I want some custom biohazard symbol rims but I can't find them anywhere! Does anyone know of a supplier that has biohazard rims?

Tint - standard black is probably good because I don't think that mirror tint would look good with the Sunset Pearl Mettalic with the Terra Cotta interior I have

Ground Effects - Blue neon since the interior is alright lit up blue.

Speaker - I've got a 10" in the back but I saw a blue light effect in a mag that will light up when it thumps. Also I was thinking another 2 10"'s in the back trunk. One on each side.

DVD player - here's the fun part. I wanna get the crappy little display in the car removed and replace it with a dvd screen (maybe with a custom molding) that can accept inputs from the Rockford Fosgate (while still showing the information it normally shows like direction, outside temp, etc) that I've got and display the songs that are being played as well as accept inputs from the steering wheel controls to change the dvd chapters etc. I want to be able to switch from mp3/cd player to dvd (added in the console) and a sensor of the engine (anyone have any suggestions on what is a good sensor that will give good visuals of what's going on in the engine?).



Spoiler - where's a good painted one that I can get that will fit? I hate the little thin one that's stock on the car.

Body Kit - the car is so new I can't find hardly anything FOR it! Help me find a good body kit!!

Decals - I want the Biohazard Racing decal on my hood. Anyone know someone from Biohazard Racing??



Performance:

Turbocharger - I'm looking at a T51R SPL HKS Turbocharger. Will this work? Will it fit inside the space of my engine?

Performance camshafts - I'm thinking Brian Crower camshafts.

Headers - anyone have any suggestions on some performance headers?

Anything else I need?

Gauges - Defi gauges here would fit my car's interior really well since they're the same blue. Is there a way to put the outputs on the screen?


I'm open for suggestions!

Hmm I agree on the body kit. I just wanted to know what's available but you're right about chipping and such. Didn't really think it through since it was an afterthought.

As for the decal that's just for me. I dunno if it will look good with the car's color though. That's what I'm really worried about. It it's gonna look weird with the color then I can skip that.

I just rechecked my compression ratio and you're right it is 10.5:1. I thought it was 9.5:1. ***

The curbweight has always been a downer. I've been thinking of ways to trim off some body fat but there's not many options.

Maybe I'll just go with the spoiler, rims, and dvd player and call it a day then buy a GSX build it up for power. Oh well.
