ugh. what to buy what to buy. I've got about 500 to spend on my car and I have no idea what to get. I was thinking about hotchkis springs at first but the roads around here arn't too friendly. Then I was thinkin Injen exhaust and today I was thinking HIDs. ugh what to buy what to buy. Any ideas?

 

Keep saving and maybe by the time you have enough money saved up the price will come down on the 07+ supercharger kits and you could do that. I've looked at all the money I've spent on little things and I kick myself because had I saved enough I would have a supercharged tC by now.

 

tint - $160
springs with mild drop for bad roads - $140
performance brake rotors - $160
intake - $70 cheap ebay, still gets the job done
add custom touches, its all about the detail


those are my ideas and prices I paid

 

suspension is first! Scared about Hotchkis then go with h-techs?

 

I looked at your profile, and hopefully I didn't miss it if you already have a short shifter...

but get one! Maybe Doc Iso's gear switcher :D

You'd still have plenty left over for... gas I guess! You could also snag some new pedal covers, just for the hell of it.

Otherwise, I guess just save it... throw it in a savings account and forget about it.

Or yes, go HIDs with the 08 headlights. Maybe. I still have yet to see how they do in person.

 

hmmm. maybe ill just save up for a nice fat down payment for a G37 next year. tCb00b i could definitely see myself thinking that in a year.

 

maybe a set of clear corners for the headlights as well, cheap, easy install, and great look

 

I invest money in my car knowing I'm never going to get rid of it. I mean some people like to get new cars every 3 years or w/e but I plan on keeping mine for an extremely long time and I see ever mod I do to it as an investment in something that I will enjoy for a very long time. And with the ebay intakes becareful, some are bigger pipes with no compensation in the area of the MAF sensor. Those sensors are calibrated to the flow of a stock diameter pipe. I believe Injen is the intake that narrows in the area of the MAF to compensate, even though the rest of the pipe is a larger diameter.

 

If you get a pipe that doesnt work it will throw the CELL so you know that its wrong. The one I have has done nothing but sound really good.

 

You could go with the hid's and save the rest, or go with some projectors.

 

Find a touchscreen dvd player for 500, that's what I wish I would have gotten first.

 

I'd save up a few hundred more and get a AVIC D3 if i had to spend it on the car, otherwise i'd put it towards my credit card

 

hmmm if i had the 5 bills at this time, id save about 7 more and buy the new TRD coil overs, cant beat warranty and having the car look nice at the same time

 

6000k HIDs - $160
Gearswitcher Short Shifter w/ Bushings(50% reduc, custom drop) - $95
Eclipse CD3100 Head Unit - $250

 

reliable all season tires since you're in new york

 

^^ I just got Neogens not too long ago and so far they're amazing. I feel a lot more comfortable driving in the rain. I think I'm gona either save it or buy an Xbox 360.

 

ya man save it!, and buy what you realy want, lol i was gonna buy a 360 but i got a 300 $ speeding ticket

 

Hotchkis baby!

the roads are horrible here too, but even with my lip kit i have yet to scrape. Just make sure you are cautious about where/how you are driving.

 

Well I made my decision. I couldn't just save it. Last real mod I got for my car was before summer started(rims) I just have to buy my baby something new. And it looks like Hotchkis Springs it is. :D

 

the best choice ever my friend!
