It's funny I really hadn't seen many 1verts until I ordered mine. Seems like that's the way it normally works. We have two 1's in my squadron now (a 135 and a 128) until mine arrives and Breed arrives. Blue, what do you think the best first mods should be? Eventually I'm going with VMR 701's, and like the look of the quad exhaust. So many options

honestly suspension should be first, I worked backwards adding power and then doing the suspension<<<this is wrong the M bits completely change the car and it's much cheaper to get them installed over here as opposed to the US, anyones welcome to check mine out and see what you think, if you are going to dump the run craps suspension is almost a requirement. I had just camber plates and an M3 front sway then mounted up APEX ARC8's with 245/275 PSS's and the car felt soooo sloppy. She would wobble around in the middle of a fast corner and pitch and yaw over the slightest road imperfection, The suspension is tuned very soft in our cars bc the run flats are sooo damn hard, so when you remove the run flats all the squishy bushings they give us really let you know there not doing much our rear subframe bushings are see through and you can smash them in your hand, the M3's are hard as rocks lol, just my 2 cents, but then again if your not an aggressive driver or never really push your car you probably will never notice the squish the stock setup has

My first mod will b wheels. But usually I was always an aesthetics guy not that I don't like performance but I always wanted my exterior emaculate and flawless so it could steal as many looks as possible. And sense this one is pretty stout from the factory I'll start power mods in spring. I'm going with white forge star cf5s tho so u won't be able to miss me. My car will look like a snowflake n AW with white wheels

I'll be getting there about the 2nd week of nov. it would be oct except I have a training class I have to go to for 3 weeks before I come there. So wen I leave Korea I'm going to Mississippi for class for 3 weeks and 1 week to chill with fam then I'll be there. My car should be there by then tho as its scheduled to arrive mid oct. so I'll jus hav all that paperwork an registration crap to do lol.

I did rims, exhaust, grill, tint, and blackline LCI tailights in the first week i owned it.

Pretty much done for aesthetics. Might be a CF spoiler and diffuser in the distant future though.

Aside from that I got the JB4 on and a drop in K&N. Dont think im gonna do any more serious modding. All my money goes to my motorbike and riding trackdays, so the car comes second for now.

I can't wait till Tuesday, I should be driving it, we'll as long as the paperwork is back from Cadiz. My car has been here since the 27th, but I was on emergency leave. Then got back and it was Columbus Day. I'm soo ready to be behind the wheel! .b0link, I will be getting up with you and blue phobic soon I would love to check out your mods and compare cars.
