Confused about how to mod my car...
Ok, I have a 2002 Ex Sedan. So far I have put on an AEM CAI and only got some noise out of it, i eventually took it off thinking i'd get a turbo.
Turbo : Too many risks (or so i keep hearing) for a daily driver. I need to commute 2-3 days a week to school (1 hour each way) and up to my girls place every 2 weeks or so (2 hr each way). I really want speed but i need it to be reliable. I know there are alot of added costs when geting a turbo also, so the only way would be to get a used one.
Rims/Lower : First, not sure which rims to get, thinking of 17's. I want to lower it but i don't want it to rub (which is my main concern). Also, if i spend all my money on looks then there is none left for go. Too much show, no go.
Intake/Header/Exhaust : I'd get these, but they would be mainly for looks and not go because I heard they make very little power gains. Basically alot of money for all show and no go, again. I am also unsure of which headers/exhaust to get (i was thinking greddy evo II for exhaust).
I have about 3g's to spend, mabye more mabye less. What should i do?!?!

Oh I forgot, I can't get a fast car because my insurance will skyrocket! And it'd be hard to sell my car becuase i have 50k miles on it already, and its only a 2002, so i wouldn't get much for it. I've already put it in the paper to sell and i got ZERO calls. So unless somebody has a really good idea, i'm stuck with making this car fast.
