What to get after taxes?
 
So after taxes I should have about $1300-$1500 to play around with freely and I have yet to decide on what I could or should get. So what's your opinion? So far all I have is Stillen Intake and Ark exhaust.

Side note: I'll be moving to Germany in like 3 weeks so getting stuff before I leave would probably be cheaper than shipping it out.

Tough call. You've already got sport pkg, I see, so wheels/brakes probably aren't a dire need at this point. Test pipes or HFC's are a possibility, but they're not for everyone.

My favorite inexpensive mod so far is the rear fog lamp with OEM switch, but again it's personal preference.

Maybe a suspension upgrade? I don't know much about those mods, but they seem to be popular.

You could get some decent coilovers for around that price.

Actually, it's the base model. But maybe I'll just save up a little more and invest in tire/wheel/brakes. But suspension upgrade is not a bad idea.

D'oh, I fail.

If you look around the classified section, occasionally sport rims pop up there for that price range. I've also got a base, and I like the 18" rims, so I'm sticking with them for a while. But it's an option.

I like the base wheels too. I think coils + spacers would be nice if you wanted to keep the stock wheels.

if i had to spend 1500+ on my car it would be on coilovers... i'd get KW's too.

after that i'd get wheels maybe. not sure, im pretty happy with the car the way it is especially in the sport wheel and suspension dept. :)

If I had base brakes, I'd upgrade the brakes way before coil overs.

yah, that's a good idea.

wat is the braking distance for the base brakes from 60mph? :confused:

in comparison, akebono's are like 112ft, right?

I'm definitely replacing my brakes at some point, but being stingy, I'm gonna wait until I wear them down. But yeah, braking distance is fairly iffy for the Z on base brakes. :ugh:

I thought the braking distance was roughly the same. The only difference was really a result of the better tires on the Sport package cars.

Though after 3-5 really hard stops then the difference between braking distances would start to grow exponentially. :icon17:
