What would you do with....

OK so graduation money stopped coming in and I decided to split the money up so I dont blow it all on my car. I am budgeting $500 to spend on my car on whatever I want. So give me some ideas. I am primarily going for looks, I am not to worried with modifying the engine. I am posting some pics so you can see my ride. Any input is appreciated.

Your better with your money than I am-

I used ALL my grad money on my car pretty much, new alarm, 19s, rsx seats, and s2k wheel. I couldnt be happier tho.

Oh well- I work full-time also so that in addition helped pay for some of that stuff, I can save my summer earning to help with College **** too so oh well.

FOR YOU- I'd get springs, I like fog lights (small, nice fogs, nothing big and ricey), altezza grille, maybe projector, a system if you dont have one, leather can be had from Katzkin for not too much more if you install yourself (like $659 or so). Not sure what else off the top of my head...

You need suspension really bad. Save up a couple more hundred and get some true coilovers and drop that thing. If you dont want to spend all your money on suspension get some nice lowering springs at least.... they are only like 200 bucks, if that.

Next is a definate altezza grill..... painted lip but the "grill" part left black cuz I see you goin for thet black/red theme.

OR you can buy some rims. I'm selling my rims for 500 bucks..... my friend was supposed to take them 2 weeks ago but his flaking out. Check out my member rides and PM me if you're interested and I'll give you some more info. It would prolly be about 600 bucks shipped.

****... $659 isnt that much money when considering car parts... And dont say yeah it is when your 17-18, cause so am I, just work more :-D

If you want quality parts, be willing to shed the money. I would have said get rims but I saw on another one of your posts that you dont want anything different than those you have. Your decision, but I'd at least do a drop to minimize the wheel gap.

So go with springs- you asked opinions. Dont get so touchy when I throw out options for ya.
