I just installed the DC Sport Carbon Strut Tower Bar and WOW it was so worth the money. The car handels so much better and way less sway!! Also look into the K&N typhoon cold air intake.

 

is that with stock ride hieght /suspension?

thx

I would say springs -> rear sway bar -> short shifter if you want to go for performance.

Though 300 isn't much to blow since you have to consider the install costs unless you plan to DIY.

And there is always the magic of Ebay

 

Alright lets see 300 dollars i would definatley go with buying either a system, interior and exterior lighting or buy some small switches and place them in those punch out spots under the small compartment and hook those up to random things such as lighiting amp and etc.... dont waste your money on performance upgrades you might as well just buy better gas then waste your money on an intake or sway bar or exhaust... reason being if your putting that on you better save a few g's to put into a new motor or to resleave your engine for a huge as turbo and new heads, header, intake exhaust chip and all.... my personel opionion!

 

^^^^^^ and on that note why not drop a 2JZ engine in it and grind the hell out of that plastic transmission?

 

HIDs.

 

I'd go with tint for starters. Save the performance upgrades for after you get your car looking good. The car will never be much faster, so get it looking good, then if you have money to burn, go with suspension mods. Then if you really have money to burn, buy mods like cold air and exhaust.

 

I would go for the TRD Sport Exhaust. Makes your ride look good (nice tailpipe) and sound good with a slight possible boost to hp. (note the word "slight" "possible")

 

An alpine CDA-9831 can be had for $266 shipped. I'd get that and spend the other $34 on stuff for a VIP lighting.

 

any opinon if i should go for oem foglights? any real improvement with those? or should i opt for something in the lower grille?
thx~tesh

 

The general consensus is that they look cool, but don't throw that much light out.

 

custom exhaust

 

Go with window tint , then maybe an armrest , and save the change for your next upgrade..

 

I know where you can get a Magnaflow stainless steel muffler based axleback for $200 installed, tax included!

 

it really all depends on what you want. do you want looks or do you want a little performance boost, or do you want more handling. personally, i would go with handling, because as said before, none of the "performance" mods get much power gain, if you were to go that direction, get a custome piped catback for starters. but i would just lower the car first off, it does make a difference. i recommend tanabe df210, but thats because those are what i am running, other people may prefer another brand. those can be found for around 160. then save up an extra 30-40 on top of what you have left from your 300 and get a set of sway bars, trust me....you will notice the difference and it will be well worth it.

 

Right now precisionmuffler.com has a special on our axle back, you should check it out.

tanx all; i love the advice::

as if buy some freak accident, or a possible nudge from god... i may get:

a JIC exhaust
a wing (oem, good, not overdone, but nice)
and a underbody led kit.

or go for the screen

my money's on the first 3, a little sound, a little looks, and some FLASH

 

Hit up Ken (NCP31) for the JiC exhaust and OEM wing. We'll be at Cal Expo this weekend.

 

done and done.
