cheap intake, Cheap exhaust, then Air suspension. Those were the first. But its change so much from then.....

RY2K

get a 6" exhaust tip
and slam it to the floor





for real do the suspension and maybe upgrade the brakes before you do motor work

illusion

left the dealer with an AEM CAI installed, had it tinted 3 hours after I took it off the lot, bought stereo components the day after I bought it and a few alarm toys, had headers in 3 days later, exhaust on two days after that, different wheels the day after that. Did most of my mods the first two months I had the car

The best bet is to put whatever you want on your car and don't worry about what other folks have done or are doing. Whatever your pockets are up to.

You want a list of things to look into? here's something I put on another board when they asked. The list has changed a bit since I posted it but you can get the gist.

That is unreal! I'm too lazy to do the math...what's the running total $ on mods?

You should have spent a little of that money and replaced that fake wood grain interior.

I still can't get over that list....

Nice work doing all the install...from what I've seen it's a great job.

gibson

Everything listed there is $14,700

that's almost twice as much as I paid for my car, and about as much as I estimated I'm going to dump into it this year.

f'n car bug
