Power windows? Not necessary...keyless entery? I have it, plus alarm...moon roof? never use it...cruise control...the one thing i wish i had. Oh yeah how much did i pay for my car? lets just say 4 figures.




DO NOT. i repeat DO NOT Do that. these oem springs will perform SO DAMN poorly if you cut them its not even worth the look... just spend the extra money and get a nice set of springs you'll thank me later
4 figures... used or new.. one would make the assumption that a 2005 would be new? correct me if im wrong... did you buy it used?? let me link you do the kelly blue book website saying that the invoice for your stripped down car that suits your needs is invoiced at 13,041.00 http://www.kbb.com/kb/ki.dll/kw.kc.n...HOCK_VP;060400
did you buy your car new?? if not, im sure someone drove the **** out of it... I have a hard time believing that the dealership, related or not, sold you the car for thousands under invoice..... ?

as long as you like your car, it doesnt matter how much you paid or what is in it. Thats always what it will come down to...

rubber mats and tint are the first two things every car should have. You'd be surprised how much more effecient your A/C is when you have good tints

first off the car is less hot to start with because the tints block out alot of sun and heat when its parked, and then while your moving the sunrays dont hit you as hard and heat doesnt build quickly inside the car, so the a/c has more than enough time to cool off all the cabin air

carpet doesnt last and gets dirty easily. I get my feet dirty so i can clean my mats easily with water and soap
