Its sad that since Feb. 22 i have spent over $3,600 on mods...i am taking a break on mods for a while so i can build the bank account up more

 

LOL god i dont even know where it begins and where it ends to be honest!!

 

daneisthegreatest , thats a good price for such a list of mods for $3600, but saving up is also a good idea too, im having trouble buying my 17s alone lol

 

you want to know whats funny...i bought the rims a week before i bought the car...i saw them and couldnt beat the price (they were brand new rims and brand new tires, never been mounted or anything) after i got the rims i was crossing my fingers that the deal would go thru at the stealership...

i have a great paying job and practically no bills so i just jumped in head first and now i have pretty much run out of things to do to it, modding takes time and a lot of money...

check ebay a lot, you will find great deals, i think they have the 17" version of my rims and tires on there for like 600 or 700 brand new (dont quote me on that) and check the classifieds section on here i have stumbled over many great deals just by accident

i forgot to put on my list my roof rack also, got it for 165 shipped and that was the pretty much brand new yakima rack and fairing (like almost a $500 value) just keep your eyes open : )

 

This is what I've done so far, in this order:

1. Agency Power Pulley ($120)
2. Progress Tech sway bar (used $35)

These are contemplated:

3. Fujita Intake ($140 - I might remove the intake snorkel first)
4. Engine ground kit (homemade $20)
5. AutoscanII
6. Wheels & Tires

The first two made a noticeable difference in pickup and handling. I'm keeping an eye on economy. Last tank of mixed highway/slow country driving was 35 mpg.

Cheers,
M Davis

I'm more of a go before show person, so personal choice may very. I just don't prefer a vehicle with extensive body mods so it looks fast but is running a stock engine and won't go fast (probably slower then bone stock due to extra body kit and audio/video weight, and heavy 19" rims)

16. Other

It helps to have a degree to pay for all of it, please don't total it for me or I may cry.

 

You didn't mention about any budget. If there is an unlimited budget, then there is no issue with order, you just do it all at the same time

For those under a budget it will be harder to complete costly mods together.
