What to get for G with tax refund?

I have around $500. I was thinking of doing the avelectronics thing because I love movies and having them in my car would be nice. Im not big into engine mods since I lease. I also dont want to upgrade the stereo at all because of the lease. I already have pretty much everything else (spoiler, splash guard, clear corners, trunk mat, cargo net, clear bra).

Any ideas, suggestions?

Thanks!

I think the bigger question you need to ask is:

"Why the hell am I getting a refund?!?"

Refund = Interest-free loan from you to the Federal government. You could have had that $500 working for you 12 months ago...

I always like to pay the most so that I dont have to pay any surprises in April, I usually get something back. And dont worry, I have money working for me

Do you have Nav? You could put that towards some of the aftermaret NAV systems. I can't find the site, but there is a cool silver "carputer" touchscreen one.

I do have the nav. I was thinking of the Avelectronics earlier today, but in thinking about it more, it seems like an awful lot of money to just watch movies every now and then and show off to friends. Plus I love my Sat radio so I would be torn between listening to that and a cool movie.

Maybe I will do engine mods like the Z-tube and/or pop charger. How much do those change the sound of the engine and exhaust? I love my exhaust now

Thats OK, just put them both on one side of the car and no one will notice!

A plenum spacer is bolt-in and would provide some extra power. I should be installing my z-tube & KN filter on wed or thurs, so I'll let you know about the sound difference.

i got $2600... it's nice to claim zero and be single

too bad $2k goes to pay off my credit card. the 600 might go towards Borla exhaust and Z-tube though.
