$600-$700 "extra"...what to do?

happytheman · 05-29-2011, 01:11 AM

Ok, I'm likely to have an extra $600-$700 tp play with in about a month and I'm trying to figure out what mod todo.

I'm bone stock right now with the exception of the illuminated kick plates.

I was thinking 20 and 25mm H&R spacers, or the Shine Auto front lip... Perhaps get the calipers powder coated by Mike.

What would you all do? Looking for suggestions.

Test Pipes for the power and still have money for the spacers

A humongous ricer wing and a pair of fuzzy dice for the rearview

That or Fanta or Tab cola

Oil cooler and spacers I guess.

happytheman · 05-29-2011, 03:29 AM

Hmm, test pipes and spacers...a little cosmetic, a little power. Interesting option.

mikeSS · 05-29-2011, 03:50 AM

maybe a CAI, and tints.

SophiaZ · 05-29-2011, 03:54 AM

window tints and windshield eyebrow...very simple and makes a drastic improvement! Or go for HFC's

happytheman · 05-29-2011, 04:21 AM

Oops, got the tints already! Sorry, guess I shoulda mentioned that, but when living in Florida it's kinda a prerequisite!

happytheman · 05-29-2011, 04:25 AM

Hmm, starting to take a look at what the Stillen G3 intakes will run me.

happytheman · 05-29-2011, 04:44 AM

Looks like $549 at Intense Power. Is there a better price out there?
