Have about $500.00 to spend.. what to get?
 

Title says it all. I have about $500 of spending money to play around with. I have an OB 04 coupe only mod I have done is the intake and just ordered the JDM clear corners the other day.

What I am thinking of doing..

-06 projector headlights
-Get my stock 18's painted gloss black ( I like these rims and plan on keeping them for awhile)
-Get the grill painted black
-Motordyne 5/16 plenum spacer
- HFC's

Those are my options will only be doing one of them this month and can't decide what to get.

Thanks for the help!

save up some more money to buy coils and hammer it.

spacer ftw!

The projectors make a big difference in the front end appearance of the car. That would be my choice.

haha I knew that was gonna come up. I like the stock ride height and since I am not buying any rims or tires for awhile

IMO, projectors are a waste of money. The OEM projector lenses are ****ty, you're better off paying someone to do a TL swap or something with high quality projectors than spending $500 on headlights.

Stock ride height is too high, you should lower it. ;)

well its the 6MT sport package so IMO its low enough with the current tires. I think I am leaning towards headlights but was wondering if there are any custom ones out there. I remember a company called cincity designs but I think they are no longer in business.. Also if I buy the OEM lenses do they come with the HID bulbs?

For your budget get a MD basic 5/16" spacer and a nice used set of HFC's. This will address performance and give you a nice HP bump for ~ $500.

Don't listen to these fools that tell you to dump the car. :D

^ comin from this guy, pfff

lol

Hey watch it you Canadian. :rofl:

go with the spacer and then slam it. Projectors are not a immediate need and I am not a fan of painted wheels. Just my $.02 ;)

What are you trying to accomplish with your car..? It seems like your list is all over the place.

spacers and hfc's used. done deal. i too have every package in my coupe and im fine with my height and 19's. im not happy with the wheels being tucked in though haha

Cosmetic tbh is higher on my list then performance.. I am not a racer but I do want a few performance mods done to my car. The car for me is fast enough since like I said im not racing. I think I would only like to get another 15-25 HP out of my car.

then get your spacers, some gtr overlays and powdercoat your rims man. done deal.
