a big fat car payment. That or a really nice hooker[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG] j/k all depends on what you have done to your car thusfar. Rims are always a good first step, lowering i/h/e and of course koni's, my best investment yet. You can do a billion things, just depends on what you are going for.

I duno. depends on what you want to do. you dont necessary have to spend it on your car you know.

I mean, you do have other bills to worry about besides your car bill.

really, I'd like a nice kit on the car too.. but I'd rather save it so I can pay for my rent and car payment and what not. *shrug* money doesn't grow on tree (er. not really anyway) so spend it wisely.

if you work, you should know the value of a dollar.. so dont waste the money on things you really dont need yet.

I couldn't agree more. Just because you're getting money doesn't mean your car is the best place to spend it .

I'd say rims/tires, ground controls, konis (a must if you are in the city a lot!)

hmm... $2000 eh? well that's about $3000 CDN so I'd probably get (I don't have any mods at this point): tint, amp, subs, front upper strut bar, rear lower tie bar, AEM cold air intake, exhaust headers and cat-back exhast.... although the exhaust would most likely put you over budget, I would at least get all the stuff listed before it.... that's just me....

First it all depends on what you already have done. If I had $2,000 I'd: lower it, get some nice rims and tires, and an exhaust if I had enough left over. And if there wasn't enough left, I'd shop a little (sorry thats my girlie side) and put the rest in the bank.

yea rims are always good too and its a nice first step. or you can save it for a turbo. use 1k of it for car payment then the rest on your car so for like 4 months you can use that extra money on your car. buy some nice racing seats... or a body kit....or a cf hood...
