So, my parents said I could get a holiday gift.. technically for hanukkah but I am very Atheist.. I just like the gifts and food associated with holidays lol. Anyway, they said I could spend 300 bucks! This is sweet considering I pay for everything.. car, cloths, phone bill etc... So, I figure 350 MAX... What should I get.. The things that have been on my list for a while are...

headlights- Diy so off the list
roof (gloss)- doing in Spring.. off the list
rims- varrstoen (could put the money towards these)
coilovers- not getting them till after the rims... out
rear diffuser- autokits x.. possibility
stillen gen 3 intake- could use the money towards this
FI exhaust/ CATS- to much money rite now, need other stuff first
paddel shifters- not nearly a priority but in price range
Autokits x spoiler- another possible option but I dont NEED it rite now..
headrest monitors- I have been setting up an xbox in my car and need more monitors.. 2x clarion ones from newegg at 150 each could be an option.
strut bar- wont do this till I do the sways and coils..
grounding kit- I always dive in Tip because I wish i got 6MT and the shifts are rough as hell.. This would be really nice...
sway bars.. The new AWD sways just came out but I may end up using someones sport rear for now..

 

You should give that money back to your friend who you jipped for the plastidipped grill.

 

get suspension before wheels man, you will thank yourself later when choosing offsets....put it towards coils and the money for the install.

 

Its doesn't really matter, Im in NY, even when I get the rims and coils, im not going super aggressive.. semi flush.. and Im only going to drop around .75 to an inch.. the roads here are terrible and I scrape going into my driveway at stock height at an angle..

 

you think you have a bad driveway. haha my driveway is worse then anyone probably has in these forums. it sucks cause i want to lower my car, but my HKS exhaust tips scrape with stock height. But save your money and get nice rims

 

bahahahahaha

 

idk what hes talking about.. i charged him 200 for my grill that I plasti dipped for him + his grill so I could have an oem. I told him that when the cars lease is up, he can either give me back my grill and I would give him 100 bucks back (unless there is any damage to it) and his grill or he can peel the plasti dip off, keep my grill in, let me keep his old one, and I would give him 100 bucks back.. either way, I dont think you get the point (Jackus) that his grill and 100 of those $$ are just collateral so if he gets in an accident and f**** my grill then I still have an OEM either way or money to get a new one.. understand??

 

Being 18 rocks so hard I'm doing it for the third time...

 

so in essence, you charged him $100 for a $7 job

 

labor as well.. and installation...

also how about you try to stay on topic.. Im aloud to charge what I want.. and I still think its fair.. so leave it alone..

 

how did u pay for this car, with your own money at age 18?

you must sell drugs

 

^ maybe he means he pays for it like in monthly payment. A decent job will suffice if you're living at home.

To OP you pretty much have eliminated most of the things you suggested you wanted to do, so not much is left. Guess you'll be putting the money towards payment on something more expensive, Rims??

 

I think Im actually going to go for something not on the list.. Subs.. And, I bought the car off of lease for 25,000... And no I dont sell Drugs.. I do Work at a ski shop, do computer repair, install electronics in cars, do computer builds, and do montages (video compilations)

 

Congrats on your good fortune.



I vote for the grounding kit and the RWD sway bar. Thoes are 2 real mods that will do wonders for the car and will keep you in your $300 range. Everything else your talking about is $300+.

Everyone needs to stop hating on this kid.. Much like the other haters on this board I wish someone would gift me $300 bucks to play with, but I am not dependently wealthy anymore. Growing up sucks....

If you are working hard anything is possible. Especially if you have no rent payment.

Let us know what you end up going with and your results.

 

Coils

Subs are ghey as fack
