Default what to spend tax money on
apparantly i may be getting almost 2 grand back this year, because my parents arent claiming me and my step father is an accountant. now the hard part is deciding what to put half of that money into.

i've decided to stay n/a being as most of my friends that have gone turbo have either gotten significant speeding tickets and their insurance went sky effing high and/or effed their ____ up bad having HIGH boost/no experience driving a turboed car.

now heres my dilemma:

spend a grand on Tein Basic coilovers

or
Injen CAI
Magnaflow cat back
5000K HID's
(i know these dont come out to exatly 1,000$ but wahtever i dont spend on my tc, im putting in the bank)

opinions please!

Even though you wont get any power gains, go with that. Gives our cars a little purr. You can get all of that for around $500. Coilovers are nice as well, id just go with springs though but whatever floats your boat.

go for looks

lip kit
wheels
HIDs
exhaust(for sound and looks!)
lowering springs

coilivers are awesome, but totally pointless if youre not gonna track your car

you gotta get an exhaust and lights before the coils imo.

HIDs are the best mod besides turbo that i've done to my car.

Coilovers first. The offroad look never looks good.
