Welcome to my garage! This is my first post on genvibe. This is my first car and the start of something big. It used to be our family's daily runner for 10 years before I got it. It has 161,631 miles on it and is still going strong. It is a...

I am planning to do mods to make it look better and go faster. I plan on updating my garage whenever they happen or are in the near future. Here are some of the mods or changes that I have done and the ones I plan on doing next.
Stereo upgrade: Bought Via Crutchfield.com, I highly recommend them because they put everything together nicely. Scosche via eBay.
Stereo System Sony WX-920BT
Metra 40-CR10 Antenna Adapter
Metra 70-2105 Receiver Wiring Harness
Scosche Stereo Radio Dash Mount Trim Kit - Recommend this one over the cheap plastic Metra one. It's metal and sorta depth adjustable for a good fit.
Wheels: Bought via Carid.com.
Konig Control Matte Black - 16 x 7 | 5 x 100
Hub Centric Rings(Carid ones were the wrong size) - 73.1mm - 60.1mm Amazon link
-Removed old window decals and dealer badge.
-Wheel Stud broke and I replaced it with a Dorman 610-266 stud but couldn't get it all the way in.(Solved)
The best way to center wheel studs is to rotate the hub so that the stud is able to get straight in and out without hitting anything. Next purchase a Lisle 22800 Wheels stud installer and grab a wheel nut and pull the stud through with a ratchet. This is the link to the installer. Heads up it is much cheaper on amazon than at your local autoparts store.

Spare Lug/Wheel Nuts Part # - Dorman 611-109.1 (98953.1)
Near Future Mods:
Tinted windows ~5%
Side Window Deflectors - Anyone know any good brands?
TRD Front Strut Brace - Should I do a Sway Bar?
Fog Light Installation
Air Intake - SRI K & N or cosmo racing?
Farther Future Mods:
Coilovers/Struts Upgrade
Magnumflow Catback Exhaust
internal engine mods/upgrades
Turbo
Any thoughts or advice?
