Right off the bat I'm going to get a short throw kit, an axle-back, and possible shorty headers (depending on how much I like the axle-back as is). After that I'll save up for drop springs and sway bars, and then once the tires need replacing I'm going to change out the wheels/tires and sell the stock 20s.

Other than that though its going to stay pretty much stock. Maybe a few cosmetic mods but there aren't many on my list.

That prolly where the issue is coming up... The subtle differences in the two can make a big difference in aftermarket parts....

I'll probably keep the stock wheels, I think they're perfect--UNLESS somebody starts making 2006 concept wheels.

Crazy, it never occurred to me that the v6 might be taller.

Too tall (20 inch just doesn't do it for me), too heavy, and not wide enough. I'll be doing 19x9.5 on all four corners.

Only at the back. Its DOHC so they have some extra space at the back where the cam chains circle the ends of the cams.

I'd get my rears widened. I'd like to run 275's up front with 305-315's out back.
