got 500 bucks... what should i get??!?!

[wubaru]

my awesome girlfriend gave me a "coupon for a free car part" up to 500 bucks for our anniversary. What should I spend it on? I can spare about 200 bucks myself, so if i really needed to i can go up to about 700 bucks. right now i have: -injen short ram (soon to be converted into cai) -trd sway -trd exhaust some stuff ive been wanting are: -lowering springs, either h&r or trd -trd short shifter ( i like the stock height) -header and s pipe (unsure about potential rasp) -oem front lip or full kit if i can afford it -cf hood -tint -save up for a supercharger -lightweight pulley -save up for new paint job -hids -one of those in dash dvd touch screen mp3 player things -rims -powdercoat stock rims thats all i can think of now. if you have any suggestions name them. Im leaning towards getting springs and rims/powdercoat springs and headers/downpipe springs and short shifter. Im unsure about h&r or trd springs though. let me know what you guys think. thanks

Springs($160 for TRD), tint($120) and HID's($130) then use the $90 left over for an alignment 2 weeks after you get the springs.

[CRUZtc8]

tints or lowering springs.

[tCtCtC]

right on

[SVicksTC]

tint and srpings......Paint the stock rims for 20 bucks for the mean time if you want to go that route.....

[capitolachet]

Tint, lowering springs if you are installing it your self and if not keep the rest for saving for a sway bar

What he said x100

the tC just looks sooo much better with a drop id choose htechs over trd but thats just me. lol

[olo_olo]

you can buy my MMW header and Greddy SP2 exhaust lol if you're interested - let me know so i will pm you the pics

[SquallLHeart]

dudeeeee.. you're alive! haven't heard from you for a damn long time.

if short shifter.. hmm.. doc i's are cheap and you'll still have plenty to spend on for other stuff

springs! wee.

[beedee]

first, buy my springs

and then a rear sway bar, injen cai, and maybe tint.

[BlckdOutTC]

ok he has a trd sway. like stated, tints and springs would do the make you car change for the best

You can do a great cause if you Donated that 500 dollars to the MicE's childrens homeless shelter... With just 500 dollars a month you can feed MicE's children for only until a month and then there you would need to come up with another 500.. I would reconsidered of buying new things for your car if i were you.. "ahem' Donation"

[Elijahtc]

Don't do header and S pipe. The rasp is a sure thing and it is horrible. There is a guy in my club that has the trd exhaust with header and s pipe and it is the worst sounding noise I've heard. And the s pipe and headers will only give ya high end power and rob ur low end torque which is what ya need off the line anyways. I would go with springs and hids or what carbon posted on the first reply.

Ok if you got 700 bux to play with then buy:

1: TRD Quick Shifter (240)
2: Lightweight Pulley (110)
3: Tint (120)
4: TRD Lowering Springs (160)
5: 4 QTS of Royal Purple and a TRD Oil Filter (40)
6: Take out at your Local MCDONALDS and a car wash when its all over (30)
7: Staring at your car for hours (PRICELESS)

Bout 700 bux, give or take a couple dollars here or there.
But you wont be dissapointed. TRUST ME..
GOOD LUCK BRO..

[bigwillystyle23]

or a hooker and some blow.

[torqueTc]

for $700 you could build a portable meth lab in your car, then turn it into $7000. Then you could get your girlfriend something nice, thats what a REAL man would do.

easy peasy!

[bigwillystyle23]

true that ^

[a_german_named_hans]

Buy me a new painted bumper cover

HIDs + Lowering Springs should be under 500

~150 for springs
~150 for install
~150 for HIDs

about 450ish

[nauticac]

I agree. Springs/Tint/Paint stock rims/short shifter!
