Performance and looks
 
What things should I get for performance and looks? I can spend about a grand, suspension needs no work, for wheels I can spend 400.00 not including tires, and I'm getting a VIS OEM C/F hood, so that leaves about two hundred, or I can not get wheels and have 600.00...I'm not looking for much speed.

you could snag up some Rota's, and stay within your wheel expenditure limit. As far as that extra 200 bucks, I would prob throw on some lips.

ugh, fake lips :p

yeah, I'd say the hood, a set of integra seats ($100ish), those lips, and a new set of tail lamps :fawk:

but I really think you should pick something :p

For $1000 of performance work, a cow will still outrun you. Sorry, but it's true.

If you want to build "looks" into that same $1k, too bad. It isn't going to happen.

If he was really creative, he could boost his Y8 for under $1k and outrun many a cow...

I ended up around $900 on my turbo setup.

performance: n2o kit

looks: car wash

Haha, 18secferio, you really don't like my tails do you :p...I definately don't want speed because driving my car (specially after the mazdaspeed protege) is the slowest thing i've ever been in. I think I might just take that 1000-1200 and do a b16a2 swap and keep it auto, to please the parents...
