It's nice to have another SoCal member! She looks like a very clean example and a great base for your planned mods.

I saw a bunch of threads on scanners and everyone seems to be in favor of the GT1, which happens to be a little pricey. I figure the BT scanner is a cheaper alt. with similar functions and programming capabilities.

I'll be ordering my springs, bushings, sway bars and fender flares (possible the running boads as well) in a day or 2. I'll post pics when all is said and done.

The GT1 is definitely not cheap, but then that is one item that I would personally be skeptical of trying to save some money with. I saw one thread with a scanner that someone bought on ebay then used software to program with I'll have to see if I can find it again. I was debating fender flares on mine as well I look forward to seeing some pics of yours all installed.

Thanks! I will be starting a progress thread soon, the mod bug has already bitten me . Can't wait to tear out the stereo and get some other stuff done. Any Socal meets that have a nice following with the X crowd?

New LED tails was one of my favorite mods right behind AVIC-Z110 DVD/NAV head unit.
Enjoy

I hear LED lights for 05s do't function correctly. Better off just getting oiginals smoked by local shop or buying a smoked pair.

Anyone knows where I can buy HD Bilstein shocks for the rear (with self leveling suspension)? I figure if I am changing the springs and front struts, might as weel change out the rear as well.

Thanks.
