Default One Last Mod.........for a While......

I need some help! I want to add one last thing to my Tc before I stop for a bit to let my credit card cool down lol. So far I've added an Injen Intake. Megan exhaust, headers, s-pipe, Tein Htechs, Axis Decade 18x8's, greddy Strut Bar, New Headlights, New Taillights, Jensen CD player, Rockford Fosgate P2 sub with RF Amp.Undercar Neon Kit, Wheel Well Kit, and Interior Kit. Lightweight underdrive pulley and last but not least... A big nice security System with a Remote Starter.....So the question is....what next? I thought about going with more power and doing a Turbo...but thats a LOT of cash. Then I thought about just putting a nice Dvd Player with a Touch screen display where the CD player is and maybe getting screens in the headrest. Or maybe get a nice body kit and do something paint wise....Any Suggestions? Thanks!

I had to drill some holes about one CM back in the stock brackets to get it to fit and still have the door close. Also needed some spacers http://cgi.ebay.com/Scosche-TA1465B-...QQcmdZViewItem to fill gaps to either side of the deck. It was a fun install.

As far as the unit goes, I love it. I went from a Pioneer 8600 to the Alpine 9857 to the IVA-w200 when my store started carrying it. It has the ipod functionality built in so you only need the 20 dollar Alpine ipod cable. It accesses the ipod a lot faster than the 9857 and the Pioneer with its ipod adapter. DVD playback has been pretty good, I haven't messed with it too much and haven't really had time to hook up an Xbox or PS2 to test gaming on it. Also, it doesn't have navigation built in, you'd have to use either their Blackbird unit($750) with a docking cradle or their NVE-N872A($1700.00) dvd based navigation unit.

The only thing that was a pain was probably the override switches, you're supposed to run one wire to the brake light lead, and another wire to the parking brake lead. The sequence you're supposed to do is step on the brake, pull the parking brake twice, release the brake, and then you can access the 2nd half of the menus, and do dvd playback on the screen. I just installed two switches to get around it, but there's a PAC unit you can buy for 20 bucks on ebay that'll do the sequence automatically.

Another iffy thing about it would probably be that you can't really tweak a lot of audio settings straight from the unit. You have to create audio profiles on the i-personalize.alpine.com website, and then burn them to a disc to load them on the unit.

A new sub enclosure, gauge LED switch, wheel spacers, sway bars, antenna, manual transmission, or those shark fin spoilers from the tC commercials?

I'd say no mods, get out of debt. You already have enough. Work on your credit because if you don't, it will hurt you in the long run.
