4 Kove speakers from you local dealer. It's a good deal, and this time of year you can get it singe new merchandise is coming in soon.
But for speed I would reccomend putting the 200 in the bank and waiting till you've got more to work with.

I would save the money. If you want to spend it then go with the catback and exhaust or a CAI. I just had my muffler and catback replaced with an OEM aftermarket and it drives with a little roar and you feel the power when you press the gas.

CAI or maybe clear corners? it would make your car look alittle bit different than stock. Stock is fine i guess.

Put it in a Series I Bond (inflation indexed savings bond)

It will be safe, gain a little money and if inflation goes up, so will the rate of return. You won't gain a ton of money, but if you forget about it for a while and keep buying more of them, all of the sudden you will be surprised.

Or, if you have an IRA, or Roth IRA, you could add it to that. You will thank yourself when you retire.

If you have any children, start a 529 plan. I think the minimum is $250 to start in many states, so you have to come up with $50 more.

Merry Christmas

Chris

It's just a hobby Chris. You can't take the money with you, so why not have a bit of fun? Now there is such a thing as going overboard, so use moderation.

I say a FSTB, RSB, lower tie bar, or some other suspension parts.

I agree. Since my income is good again and my "war chest" is safe, I've decided to let mod fever sink in.... just a little. Instead of just hoarding my cash for emergencies like I always do I've decided to upgrade the handling department this spring.

I think if you want to spend about $200 or less, and you want to "hear or feel the difference" then you could get a FSTB and RSB for under that, or you could get a CAI and that will give you more growl under the hood when you unwind the engine.
