Default 05 xc 90 upgrades-your ideas are welcome

Whats up everyone i wanted to get some suggestions on what upgrades i should do to my car. So far this is what i have on my 05 xc 90 2.5t:

10000k HIDS in head lights and fogs
Tinted tailights
LED lights in turning signal and reverse lights
Tinted windows
Viper auto start alarm
A decent box

I was thinking of doing an exhaust and intake. I also purchased eibach lowering springs but im not sure if i should install them or not. Im open to any and all suggestions

Thanks,

Alex

1. Why did you go with 10,000K HID's? Did you know that with higher Kelvin range you loose LUMENS (A.K.A light output). The most LUMENS are made from 4,500K-5,000K. The only thing you do get with higher Kelvin range in HID's is a color change.

2. As far as exhaust goes... 3" mandrel bent downpipe to a 2.5"-3" mandrel bent catback system with a free flowing muffler such as BORLA or MAGNAFLOW.

3. As for an intake, custom make one.

4. Why aren't you installing those parts? What is the problem?
