Well i've waited long enough, and i finally decided to put some money into things ive been wanting to buy. Like i said i have a stock 03 LS from the grille to the battery. Im just under 100k miles and ive owned it since about 53k.
Friday I bought a replacement grill since i cracked mine in a fender bender last year. I paid $150 but had i known i could easily get a color matched grill with the chrome inside, i would have done that. Oh well!
Then this morning i decided to do a LED conversion, so i purchased everything from DDMTuning, $155 for all interior bulbs,trunk, 4 ways, reverse and tail lights. I've been wanting to do something with my fogs as i dont even turn them on right now, but thats a little lower on my to-do list. Im happy with my stock HiD's as well.
I went ahead and got the K&N Intake for $213 shipped off ebay. Im not looking for HP as much as just a better sound from my engine. Exhaust has always been a fantasy, but again, its expense has pushed it lower on my to-do list.
I've generally been driving with my headphones in for like 3+ months because my cd player went out. I considered switching to an AUX converter as i didnt want to lose the navigation, but I went with a Kenwood DDX318 for $250 from cruthfield. All the searching i've done has lead me to believe this is gonna be the biggest PITA but ive been DREAMING of putting a quality system in since i blew one of my 6x9 subs over a year ago. Ill probably just remove everything in the rear deck since i wont need the navigation dvd player, the factory amps, or the subs. My Wish List consists of a boston acoustics gt475 to run a set of infinity speakers, and a DC lvl 2 sub powered by who knows what.
Anyways, i did alot of searching so just a quick thanks to everyone who is an active member of this forum! Generally i found a thread where someone is asking a similair question that i have, and one of you guys were either answering or dropping links to older threads!
