help me spend $$$

I got lucky at the casino and now have $800 free to put into car.
No mods done yet. I'm going to get windows tinted,that should be around $200. wsp y-pipe and cat back should cut out about another $350. any other ideas to help looks or performance. all upkeep and maint. is on schedule,except maybe new struts. Thanks.

Hit the trading forums. I just bought a Y-Pipe, UDP w/ belts, and a Blehmco ground kit for $260 shipped. Probably other deals like that too.

For the intake, I would custom make a "warm air intake" but also make a heat sheild for it as well. That will help keep some heat away from the filter.

if the struts are on the way out, I'd strongly suggest lowering springs and new struts.

Until the struts blew, the 3rd gen....at the moment, the 4th gen. The guy I bought it from put ST springs in, but used Monroe struts. I have GR2s waiting to go in.

Thanks for the compliment.
