Alright, so after much reading and researching this site as well as others, and also thanks to your guys suggestions I've decided on the exact parts I'll be picking up in the next few weeks...

OBX Header - 350$
NGK Blue Plug Wires - 40$ (Purchased)
Denso Iridium Plugs - 45$ (Purchased)
Megan Racing Drift Spec CatBack - 385$ Shipped.
...and either a Custom FULL CAI, or an Injen SRI w/ Custom CAI Extension.

I will definitely be posting up pics and feedback as i get all this done! Lovin it already lol. First off, tomorrow i get my plugs/wires and have a body shop take off all my emblems (Only 50$)

Ya... Thats what i think is going to end up happening... Cuz I'm honestly not interested in paying an extra C-Note just to have the word Injen on a piece of Aluminum instead of it being clean and shiny :lol: Plus It's kinda difficult to mess up an Intake honestly.

you could also shave the emblems your self it only took me some fishing line, a hair drier and about 45 min there are no holes to fill so you really dont need the body shop to do it they are just stuck on there with a soft adhesive

Meh, i don't have a buffer, i don't have a heat gun, and i don't have the proper equipment/polish to do it myself... if i went and purchased all that, and randomly found an air compressor... lol I'd be well over 50$ haha. This was well worth it. Another 50$ gets the side emblems removed and my soon to be TRD emblems added! Excited is me!

Alright, so I picked up my first parts for the car... Nothing exciting lol... Just some Denso Iridium's and NGK Blue's... Getting these installed soon. Intake is next on the list after i get my fuel filter done, and injectors cleaned w/ the help of some sea foam, and a nice performance injector cleaning machine =)

Image

Will definitely post some pics of the install asap. As for now, this is what my engine bay looks like nice and clean after a full on bath =)
