So far I have done the following mods to my ST: Steeda lowering springs and rear sway bar, aEf drop-in filter, CVF Intercooler, UPR Dual Valve Catch Can, SPD 3" Downpipes, Thermal R&D 3" exhaust with black tips, ZFG DMS tune and Matte Black racing stripes. I'm currently working on the audio system. Installing Alpine Status 3-ways in the front and 2-ways in the rear, Alpine midrange in the D-Pillars, Alpine 10" sealed enclose subwoofer, NAV TV ZEN, Alpine Status 12-Channel amp and Alpine Status subwoofer amp. I ordered the Steeda Subframe Bushing Supports. I'd like to do some mods to the outside now. Thinking about a ceramic coat but working out the pro's and con's. I'd like to tint the front windows, headlights and tail lights. What else can be done with the suspension on these?

Rear sway bar, lowering springs are the only useful suspension things so far. Front sway bar is waste of money.

Just say no. Match your accent stripe.

I agree with gear head. Match the stripe. Ties it all together.

And, that is a killer color ST, Bruce. I'm not sure I've seen one in the wild.

Ha Ha Ha! OK! I was going to go with matte black to begin with but saw a vehicle with rims this color and wondered what it would look like. I don't like the raw faced rims. I wish I was good with PS so I could just see what they would look like on my ST. @Flyman My daughter actually talked me into buying this one. I was going to go with the blue.

I've been sitting on my subframe bushing supports for a couple of weeks too. I need to get them on.

From all I’ve read about them they are supposed to make a noticeable difference!
