Default Now what should I get.

Ok I just picked up my RS02 on 4-30-05. Any ways I am excited about adding to it. I don't know where I want to start. Any Ideas I got about $500 to start I know thats not a lot, but hey its a start. I have already got some wheels that I am happy with and I like the DC exhaust. I am thinking of getting the yellow sway they offer or the yellow intake. Any other ideas will be helpful.

Thanks

First, decide whether you want to improve performance or looks to start. I'd suggest evaluating all the posts on the gear you are interested in - this site is a wealth of information. If you are going for looks first, check out all the pics and come up with a game plan. If you want quick performance gains, intake and header are probably a good start that is within your budget. However, you'll have to decide what parts to buy as there are a lot of good choices. I think the most important thing is to have a plan. Don't just run to Ebay and start buying parts without some research!

Make a few car payments and enjoy what you have now.

I would get one of the limited edition sways or intakes, with my preference being intake, they may get hard to find.

I got the yellow intake and strut bar through a Scion dealer on Ebay for about $460 shipped. I too feel they maybe hard to get later. I wish I had some money for some wheels now!

I agree with a couple of the other folks...
If you think you are going to want any of the limited stuff...get it now, while you can.
I bought my RS2 a week ago, and that is my plan...
