I don't think two grand buys a whole lot of looks either. A set of rims and tires will probably eat most of that $2,000.

Awesome....more money freed up then!

I would go 18's max.....19's are nice but not practical and for sure no in michigan.

So now you have an extra 500 to play with.....that's a CAI and exhaust for some nice sound.......
