Eventually I want to do the pipes but that's going to have to wait. And I need to find a way to get rid of the chrome on the front grill.
Any suggestions would be great

The Tein S Techs are fine... It's what I have now, but I'm planning to upgrade to coils soon.
Right now you have a bpv (bypass valve). Our cars were made and tuned to re-circulate air (Not blow out atmospheric - which is what a "blow" off valve does). So it would be smart to get another bpv or a re-circulating kit for the bov that you get. Like if you go with HKS. HKS sells a re-circulating kit for their bov's. The best one for our car is the OEM Evo X bpv. I know you're probably not going to listen cause everyone loves the "vroooompsh" sound when they get their first turbo car. Just a heads up, you'll lose a little bit of power if you get a non-reciruclating bov. But it's your car so you can do whatever you want.
The chrome nose ring is easy to paint... Some people like to tape off all around the area (which takes forever). I literally just took off the chrome nose ring and painted it. It's super easy to take off... I can take off my nose ring in 5-10 minutes. The most popular way to paint it is by plasti-dipping it.
Man, I'm bored at work right now... lol
