i just got extra 200 bucks from my friend and i am planning to spend it on my car..any suggestions?!??!?!?
I have the following list in my mind for now:
1. Put in a pair of OEM-style fog light kit...( i dunno how much it would cost.. can anyone give me a quote?!?!?
2. K&N FIPK II - approx $400.. that means i have to put in additional 200 bucks myself....
3. 5Zigen rear-section exhaust - approx. $400
4. A used Sony CD player head-unit off my friend - approx. $250
5. Paint the side mirrors - approx. $150
which one of them do you guys think i should do?!?!?.. or do you have any better ideas?!?!?.. any suggestiosn would be highly appreciated!!!
ps: I drive a red Coupe and I already have H&R sports springs, Altezza front grill, sider markers, cleared corner,and Neuspeed front strut bar installed.......

Save the money for when some idiot cop gives you a summons for drive unsafe vehicle!!!
Are you more for go, or for show? Id get the air intake. Otherwise Id get the cd player.

Iamfob: i dont think i will by any chance, have a big fortune to spend on my car in the recent future.. so i am just gonna spend it now rather saving it for later....

if you dont have springs... you can buy 'em off of cue2k1.. for 75bucks for neuspeed sports... i supposedly have dibs... but i might go with something else...
...otherwise.. i would of said the hypergrounds kit or the camber if your car is already lowered
but for mostly show.... underglows? or get your mirrors paint, or hope a junkyard has your car colour and your mirrors for very cheap.

You won't notice much of a difference either way. I definitely did NOT lose out when I got mine on. If anything I felt 1-hamsterpower more, but that could just be psych.

Hyper grounds are wires that ehance the grounding capabilities of your car...and gain the lost power you loose from your ignition to gain power as well as give you better throttle responce and electric current flow... and the more mods you add on to your car the more you get out of it .....some will say sterio cables are the same .... but are A/V Cables the same as Fibre Optics???? and Hyper grounds R and D show HP gains as well ( and like i said the more mods the more you get out of it)
all I can say is PM AllMotorSi and he'll says its worth the buy!!!

Oh and short ram intakes will take out SOME low end torque but you will gain more on the high end....
Short Ram Intakes give off better high end power as to....
Cold Air intake is more on the low-mid end ....
if your driving a manual I suggest the Short ram cause you can just rev high and get the most of it... but if your an auto it'll be good to have a Cold air for the low-mid....
PPL that do circuit track like the Short Ram cause the like the High end power and keep there revs up...
Im an Auto but i have a Short Ram inatke cause i like the high end power i gain out of it....but my accel. SUX a$$ but once i hit 4000 RPM and the rest of the way is all good!!!
