So it's been a couple of months since my last mod (Gintani HFC x pipes) and the mod bug is itching again. Was just looking for opinions on which mod should cue first?
OSS angel eyes or Springs and spacers?
I do a lot of driving into the city so I've always been hesitant of lowering my car but I've driven a friends Porsche turbo which is pretty low and it wasn't too bad. The issue of taking speed bumps and driveways slow seems like a pain but it does look nice. On the others hand, the OSS lights are beautiful and anytime you see them in your rear view mirror you know you're about to see a modded bimmer. I do have lux angel eyes but nothing compares to OSS. So yeah, I'm open to hear what you guys went with first or what you guys have and love.

For me personally my next mod will be the Dinan underdrive pulley kit. My wheels are on order & should be in next week or so, my tires have already arrived.

Just my .02

Didn't see that, but I guess you can drop your car. It will be more aggressive than angel eyes.

OSS angel eyes are pretty high on my mod list. I absolutely love the way they look. It's not even the money. For me, it's the downtime and the burden (having to remove the bumper). I just need to find the time to do it and then I'm going to pull that trigger.

So I vote OSS.

Spacers. Inexpensive and really impacts the look of your car.
