Ok, so, I've lost my license for 6 months again.
However, this means, I have no expenses (other than a monthly phone bill).
SO: I'm putting my income for the next 6 months mainly towards my car.
I have a short to do list.... ok, its quite long, but anyway... and I'd love to hear any other ideas people have (back it up people - prices, info, everything PLEASE)
Btw its a red 2008 VR Manual
Ideas I have
CF bonnet
CF roof
GT wing (APR GTC200/300)
HOS GT 2-outlet rear diffuser with some funky paint design
TMR headers
catback twin exhaust
sideskirt accents (dealer)
side mount front license plate (yes, ive changed my mind, I like em now)
Gear knob - anyone know any good ones?
short shifter
painting the engine bay
CAI/SRI
shark fin antenna (black)
double 12" subwoofer
thats about all i got at the moment

I hope you didn't loose your licence for drink driving...
You have header + cat back.. why not just replace the whole exhaust?
If you are doing the Intake + Exhaust, you should probably get a tune as well.

I also want to point out that for the sideskirt accents, you can get them from lukeaday of Sign Creations.
I provided him a template of the original which he mapped out so it's an exact copy and you can choose to have it done in 3M DiNoc.

In terms of audio what have u already got? Aftermarket deck or still factory? Do u have an amp already?
I've just ordered and paid for 5x 15"
subs (2000w) from the US and can part with one. Also have amps to suit them that will give more then enough punch to make your seat vibrate.

Hey fitter, the system is currently 100% stock. I was thinking just amp+sub, wire it up to the stock sytem, and go with that?

And no, I did NOT lose my license for drink driving. I actually got hard done by this time; a mate of mine was working in a nightclub photographing an event, his car was parked illegally in a taxi rank while we got the equipment out the boot (camera, tripod, skateboard etc), and when he was setting up, I went to move his car to a legal park. I pulled out, drove away, got pulled over 30m later and done for no P plates. Wasnt my car, had NO chance to go to a servo to GET P plates, I was ONE WEEK off my opens anyway, but you know, wtf.

Thats a shame, getting done for helping someone out. Some people might think it sounds dumb and avoidable but those things happen.
When I was on my reds, it was about 2 in the morning and everyone (except me) was drunk, and a friend broke his ankle and he was too far to walk back and nobody else could drive so I went and got him... Gotta do what you gotta do sometimes.

Josh,
to patch into factory wiring you will need a Line Out convertor, you can go top end like an Audio Control LC6 or Bit One unit - looking at 250+ for them
or a standard Stinger LOC for around $50
plus a wiring kit to power the amp from the battery and a box for the sub.

Carbon fibre bonnet will get you worse than having no P plates up. Id just go for a 3M Wrap of the bonnet if you want that look.

I Agree lol... but I'm assuming you mean cf wrap unless your planning on ripping your roof of and replacing it with carbon fibre
what have you got in the way of suspension? ect. lowered springs, coilovers, swaybars
