Help! I have an $80 limit....what should I mod?

Hey everyone! My birthday is coming up here in four weeks. September 11 to be precise (anyone wanna send a pity check for having a sucky birthday then pm me,

). Anyways I was gonna ask for some stuff for my xB but was told I have an $80 limit. I was thinking of the weathertech bug deflector or window visors or the pie aux adapter. What else do you think I should ask for? Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks everyone!

I'd hold on to it. Save some more so you don't compromise with what you want.

I have had both unvinyled and visors. Mine is now back with vinyl and unvisored. The vinyl looks better than paint and the vent visors detract from a clean look, IMO.

Push the wheels out away from the center of the car, makes it look better.

You could get a caliper painting kit. They cost like $15. However, if you have the steel wheels you probably wouldn't be able to see the painted calipers and drums.

You could do the Ebay short shifter for $38 shipped and then have some left over to get the vent visors. You could get a new shift ****. New pedals. I would just save the $80 for another time when I had a little more money to put with it and get what I REALLY want. Happy Birthday.

Thanks everyone for the ideas! A lot of them are going on my list. What about getting new bulbs for the headlights instead of the whole assembly? What should I ask for that will make the most improvement for the least money?

luminics bulbs are $25-35 and make a HUGE difference how your car looks. they have a blue headlight, and white one, and a yellow one.

www.luminics.com

ive run them since i got my car 4 months ago. all day all night and no blown bulbs, and they have a 1 year warranty

you would need H4 bulbs btw

heres my hyperwhites off during the day...
