    My first mods would probably be wheels (maybe evo x wheels)
    And an exhaust as i noticed the stock one is very quiet
    EVO X GSR rims? nice, I had been thinking that way myself.

    Yeah the GSR ones, I think they are enkeis aren't they?
    I would have to look into fitment first, what kind of width and offset are they? If you know

    That meme sums in up perfectly haha

    I have it all here, yes they are enkei:

    MPS3 Gen1 vs EVOX GSR


    Weight
    Evo = 21lbs
    MPS = 26lbs


    Width
    Evo = 8.5"
    MPS = 7"


    Offset
    MPS = +52.5
    EVO = +38

    I believe that is all. You will find many people running these rims in the states. Depending on how much lowering or width tyre you run you will need a roll, but I think they should be fine at stock height with like a 245 or something. Others are more knowledgeable than me in this area though

    Thanks for all the info man
    It shows that the mps wheels are pretty heavy seeing the evo wheels weigh less yet are a fair bit wider
    I'm not sure what colour I would prefer grey or silver.. Both look good in my opinion

    No probs mate. Keep in mind those rims are on a black (dark) colour car and therefore look different on grey.. but i agree, they do look very good.
    I'm not sure how often a set pops up for sale, i've looked infrequently but never really found much. Maybe I just don't search the right thing

    Yeah I think that one's cosmic blue but it looks darker maybe because of the editing

    Yep I agree ^

    Though it wouldn't need editing per-se. Just fiddling with the F Stop and other settings on a DSLR will change the contrast levels between photos like this

    Correct, only down side to buying from a dealer I guess.

    It's definitely a nice place to be!
    I've already got a Hypertech for my car, it definitely makes a difference with the limiters removed and the extra power up in the higher revs
    Wheels spin easily though lol and NOW I know what torque steer feels like! Haha

    Yeah when my car was just the stock tune I couldn't really notice torque steer at all ( I dunno why they cry in reviews soo much about it lol)
    But once I loaded on the hypertech it has caught me off guard a couple of times haha
