What to spend $1250 on if you had it?

OTW Z-Boy · 02-23-2013, 02:53 PM

Hiya,

Need some suggestions got $1250 for mods and looking for some advice...

Here's the current mods: 2011 7at sport package pw
Swifts
Varrs 1.1.2
KnN typhoon intake
Greddy spectrum elite exhaust
Rear fog light
Window tint
Pioneer AVH 2400

So what's next? Looking for some ideas. Thanks

It really depends if you go more for proformance or looks....I can't really comment much on proformance because all I am planing on doing is the stillen G3 (installed), and the FI CBE/HFC...

If it's looks you can easy get all you lights upgrade to LED's recommend JWmotoring great service and lights, carbon fiber some stuff recommend Carbon Fiber Element once again great service and quality.

Might be able to get one/two body panel(s) (front/rear bumper, custom fender, hood, front lip or a wing) but by the time you install you might be closer to $1500 depends on piece and body shop. Do some wrap on the car seen lots of roofs with black wrap on a white Z.

Also headlights if you have to have someone do them are around ~$700 (about).

Really depends on what you end goal is..

BTW the car is looking great as it is and nice mods so far.

SS brake lines, Carbotech pads, and two to three track days FTW.

Or definitely get some sway bars. Tp's and tune would be nice.

Tp's? And what tune would you recommend?

kenchan · 02-23-2013, 03:35 PM

your front tires have poke, so how about a lip or front bumper?

Yeah really not happy with the offset needed to be 5 - 10 mm less really but brake clearance you know. Totally into the amuse front and rear bumper but its a commuter car like 150 a day so don't really want to invest 5000 or more just to have it dinged up on the 91 mon thru Friday.

custom vehicle wrap: especially for the amount of distance you travel a day. Might be a couple hundred short of it with $1,250, but worth it to reduce paint chips.

//PSSST!!!!....$1,250 worth of hookers
