2K in mods... help me out

Just picked up my G recently and of course stock isnt going to cut it. Im wondering what you would suggest i do for 2,000 (+/-) worth of modifications to the car. So far I'm thinking black grille, tint (of course), HKS exhaust, lowering, and a cold air intake of some type. I think with employee discounts it should be around that price range, but what do you think about those options?

ya i was checking out the super charger, i want to get it visually and "sound" appealing first with the added power from the intake and the exhaust and save the super charger for when the insurance isnt destroying me. As for wheels, i thought of that too, but those would probably run me higher than my entire current budget...

2k won't get you all you listed. HKS will run you anywhere from 1100-1500 depending on where you get it from
..I would suggest save bout 5-6k more and go FI

2k might be a bit low, but ive got the 40% employee discount hooked up for assistance. Any comments on what was listed? Seems the FI exhaust is a must, pricing???

I think you can get FI exhaust(depending on which one you decide) anywhere from 1000-1200

This car is not fast... Spend it all on "looks". Thats what I would have done in the beginning.

Performance wise.. I'd just hit up a vegas casino.. 2000 on a hand of black jack.. double that up and go FI

you wont get much power at all... you will sound cool but intake and exhaust dont have gains... a tune will help but not for how much you have to pay... just save and go FI

Well with all my mods I spent less than 2k dollars including install. I just shopped around for deals, and neg some prices and look at places you normally wouldnt look.
Example I got my testpipes off of a wrecked Z at a local junkyard for 50 bucks...and I knew about it cause my boy told me about it cause he was looking for a part for his beater...and just search the classifieds and offer prices..but of course i took my time buying them...didnt rush to buy everything at once.
