Default Cheap Mods

Hey Guys...I drive a 99 GSR and I wanted to know if anyone knew of any really cheap mods I could do. I reallllly need to get a header and exhaust but as of now, I just don't have the money because of school and saving $ for the new house...
Anyone who knows of anything let me know! All I have so far is AEM short ram

Well I wouldn't be in too much of a rush to buy mods. When it comes to modding your car, essentially you get what you pay for.

exactly, i would wait to modify it and do it right the first time. the only cheap mod that comes to mind would be an ebay intake. i had one for a while, it was very good for the amount of money i spent on it. an intake is an intake is an intake...

Lightweighting has got to be the cheapest thing you can do

True story........

But as far as other little things for your car........most are cosmetic, so if that is your thing, you could try:

new guages,
different corners (i.e. amber, clear, etc.)
9005 headlight conversion
different guage lights or console lights
new shift knob
short shifter
new air filter (as was previously mentioned)
or even
stickers













just playin! haha
