If it's between HIDs and CF hood, get the HIDs.

If it's between HIDs, and Suspension w/ Silverstars, get the Suspension w/ Silverstars.

I wouldn't get the CF hood unless I've done all the more useful mods with money left to spare, or if you get into an accident and ruin your stock hood.

if you dont have the other exterior looks (like drop, rims, kit maybe and so on) then dont do the hood now do the suspension or the HIDs

thanks for the feedback people

here's the deal i got stock rims and no exterior mods that are crazy
my car is brown
my birthday present from my parents was tints which i still haven't got yet but will before the end of the month

so i guess logically suspension is the way to go first

now i need some suggestions on what to get first like sway bars, strut tower bars or springs, cause i want to get all of that, and i want a camber kit cause I do not want uneven tire wear because i can't afford to be replacing them all the time

i think my car will look wack lowered on stock rims, plus i don't like that lookh::waah:

i was thinking to go with Eiback prokits with KYB AGX shocks and struts, I really don't want to go that low even(call me crazy), but some other people have already said there is no point in dropping like 1"
also any similar set ups would be cool

if any one could give me approximate prices of these parts
that would be great

Thanks
-Ry

yeah, i agree, dropping 1" is not worth it really. When I started, I figured... 1.5-1.75, but now i got it about 2.5. I would suggest getting coilovers. And the best thing to do is lower on stock wheels. Lowering on rims will only increase the cost since you will be driving around with them unaligned.

I'm late to this again:

Suspension + Custom CUT the Hood + Silverstar Bulbs =

I've talked toooo much about suspension already, you should Really do a search.

But here's a brief

<500: Springs + shocks (no bars, no nothing, don't need them if you don't do autoX)
500 < $$ <1000: Full Coilovers

stock wheels + 1.5-1.75 drops is your deal, lower will slam your bottoms.

MAY need A camber kit for the front, SPC or Ingalls, The rear just use Grade 10.9 Metric size M10x1.25 pitch 60mm longs with 10mm or 3/8" washers.

Use Dremel to Cut the Hood + Grill + Mica = you have a nice looking hood that shaved off a few lbs.

Do the 9005 Conversion on your cord and you should be find. Don't need to aim them since your car is lowered.

There you go, if you want more, please do a search.
