Wheels + new tires
Swift Springs

Fog light
GTR button
HPS silicon tubes
Preparation + Installation of the Amuse kit

Well few notes, if the wheels come with the tires mounted already just do it yourself. If not find a shop with a touchless tire mounting machine. A list is HERE from Tire rack. Just imput your zip, and a list will pop up, make sure to read the notes about each shop tho to see who has what equipment. If you do it yourself 80 ft lbs is the torque, you can get a cheaper wrench at like harbor freight or something and its always good to have the tq wrench.

The GTR button took me 30min to complete following the DIY posted HERE + rep to Triple's!

Again the exhaust is an easy swap, jack the car up and pull off the old exhaust. However this requires a bit more tools but any shop that charges more than .5 hours of labor for it is taking you for a ride. Its a very very easy swap. Especially if they have a lift.

As for the rest im not too sure, the springs swap in the back is easy, but the front requires a little more work. Still easy just more involved. I wont really comment on the rest, its been forever since ive had to get an after-market kit painted and fitted.

Hope this helps!

Helps alot guys! I just copied a pasted a list of mods that I wanted to get, scratch the GTR button out.

I will most likely not be installing the exhaust on my down, I have nothing to jack it up and I have no confidence in doing that myself. Especially reading about the demon bolts haah
