The mods I have done to my cooper are the full zeemax body kit, 19" motegi wheels with 225/35/19 tires, alta intake, alta short throw shifter, nology hot wires, 19% pulley, GIAC computer remap, Bosch hi flow 380cc injectors, rear 22mm sway bar, drilled front and rear rotors, WEBB exhaust, rear black lights, front smoked headlight covers, and the John cooper works package from the factory. I would love to do your car but you are in SoCAL, I am located in Penn. SORRY! Thanks for the comments about my car, really do appreciate it.

Looks chiny!
I like how the sideskirts fit. Almost looks kind of like running boards!
