Catch can, cold air intake, ceramic brake pads, slotted/drilled rotors, sidemarkers, skip shift eliminator, dyno tune, headers, Corsa ZL1 exhaust, ZL1 spoiler, CF OEM hood, Ported TB. That would be the extent of what I'd do to a 1LE.

The best thing to do, is to do some research and think about what goals you want to make for the car. Are you a drag racer? road coarse? autoX? purely show with a little go? There are many things to consider when building your car. Find a goal and aim for it. It will save you a lot of money down the road from having to re-do modifications because you choose to go a different route. Feel free to call, PM or email me anytime with questions! We are here to help!

Best regards,

Tyler

CAI's and suspension are great choices.

Enjoy those Michigan roads ... should be warm soon enough!

Anvil spoiler (little cash, not much)
Airbag sticker delete (free, but a PITA)
Havoc diffuser (lot of cash)

Depends on how far you want to go with modding. Tint is a good starter. After that I would suggest a CAI and maybe start looking into headers/tune.

Air in air out is the first place to start. CAI and long tubes. Good tune
