honestly, I wouldn't buy anything performance oriented from radicar, based solely on their intake system, which is completely counterproductive but very nice looking.
Why would they have the filter in a place where it's not going to be sucking in much cold air? turbokits.com has one coming out which is actually in a place that makes sense. Our cars don't really need a CAI that badly anyway, the ram air setup it comes with stock is pretty efficient. radicar does have some pretty nice accessories and cosmetic mods though, thats for sure. I don't really care that much about changing my car's appearance outside of taking off the forte badge and getting some 17's to replace these retarded hubcaps, though. So far, all I've done is get a k&n drop in filter and left the air system like it was minus the new filter, and I got a 2.5" pipe ran with minimal bends back from the cat to a magnaflow muffler, with the output aimed down at the ground. aimed down at the ground like this, it gives it a nice tone and echoes of the asphalt, plus I have an LX so I don't have a diffuser, so it would be burning my plastic off otherwise LOL
plan on getting a turbo kit when turbokits.com has one out, and then, of course, a new clutch and some tuning done. I'm figuring I make between 130 and 140hp now, based on dynos of the 2.4 with their drivetrain loss and the fact that the 2.0 forte motor is the same as a non-turboed mitsubishi Evo X. Pretty good numbers for an almost stock car, especially considering it will be turbo in the near future.
That all said, do whatever you want with your car, and definitely don't let anyone talk you into or out of something you want to do with your car, it's yours and you should have fun with it!

So if you want to make the car looks clean and good,then i would suggest you to mode the wheels,the hoods,the lights of the car.
