Default nice website!

Been browsing for a few minutes, and decided to sign up, and hopefully learn a few things.

I have a 2007 Aura XR, black on black, every option but the panoramic sunroof. I love it, but lately I've had an urge to try to get more power out of it. Is there anything available for it as far as a cold air intake, or a catback exhaust? I'd like to do some bolt ons like that and then reflash it with HPTuners. The gains I got out of my silverado from HPTuners was so substantial, I'd like to do the same to the Aura. Here are a few pictures of it.

what kind of custom grille are we talking? Like a billet grille?

Im pretty happy with the look of the car, just wanted a lil more kick in the pants. I did a cold air intake, and a home made straight pipe from the catback on my silverado and tuned the **** out of it with HPTuners and man does that thing fly. Night and day difference. I figure with the aura I can cut down some of the torque management, quicken up the shifts, cut down the drive by wire throttle, and clean up the fuel trims a little bit, but it will make more of a difference if there are some breathing mods done.

I know pep boys sell's a make your own intake pices. it's bendable plastic piping that you could try to make a cold air intake with.. Give it a little I'm sure some company will come out with one. I got mine for my sl2 off ebay..

yeah im just not feeling that billit grille for the aura.

I'd also prefer to have some sort of a polished stainless steel CAI for it instead of plastic. I found one on ebay, says it fits all Auras, comes with a filter, and is 70 bucks. Not sure if I should take a chance on a cheapo one or if I should just wait and see what aftermarket companies produce in the future.
