i just got $100, i know that doesn't seem like anything to you rich guys, but I just need some advice on what kinds of things i should get. This is what I'm thinking about:

-New Headlights
-Clear Cornering Lights
-K&N Air Filter

For the Money I have, what do you suggest I should get? thanks! Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays! =)

dont bother with a k&n drop in filter, *unless*: u dont need performance gain, dont want much noise increase, or just want a reusable filter.

lights are always nice.. in fact the clear front lenses are only 40 bucks from http://www.autodynamic.com. that leaves u with 60 bucks, enough to buy some decent bulbs.

Get These

You should get an intake, like a pop-charger. Someone on this forum is selling new ones for 80 shipped and these seem to be fairly decent

ZERO...you have outdone yourself on this one. Is this a photoshopped pic of a Y2K with a "special bodykit" and clear FRONT corners(not in existence yet)and a different grill,anyway they look real good. Question,I take pics of my car with a regular disposable camera then scan them and look real ugly can I email you some any you "TRY" to clean them up for me because it is obvious you are very good at photshopping.......and

get an intake,bulbs,pedals,clear front bumper lenses,for the amount of cheese(money)you have,but hey it's your money get what you want we all have different priorities with our cars,car audio,performance,cosmetics,handling..........

$80 PopCharger Total

at http://southwestautoworks.com <br>
OBX Racing/Tech 5 Filter style intake...adapter and shipping already included in total price. <br>
I've got one and it's well worth it. It's just like the JWT PopCharger (if not better) but a lot cheaper!

Save one-third.
Give one-third to a worthy charity.
Spend one-third on dinner out with your wife/girlfriend.

Sheesh, get a Courtesy Nissan FSTB!! That seems to be the biggest return on your investment of anything you could buy.

yes

it is a big conical shaped filter and the adapter you need to fit it over the stock air hole.

not k&amp;n

This intake in not a K&N it's a Tech5. It's supposed to be just as good or better. The K&N has less airflow through filter because it is blocked oin top.

I'm tracking with yohann on this one . . .

Courtesy FSTB would be my first choice, popcharger wannabe intake would be my second. But check first to make sure that the wannabe intake has all the brackets you need to mount it properly.

You can get the clear corners and FSTB from http://www.street-beat.com or http://www.procarparts.com all for under $100. I'm pretty sure the parts are the same at both places - lenses by APC and FSTBs by Vibrant.

I checked out that intake on southwest autoworks...it doesn't have to much info on it so i might as well ask someone who got it from there. Does it actually do anything..like increase acceleration? Does it just "pop" in easily like it says or do you have to modify stuff?

Sure

Ya it will increase your accelerationa little bit, it frees up the path of air to the engine. It also gives a throatier sound. It is a 10 minute install and comes with the adapter.

Get a FSTB! You'll feel the difference immediately. Plus you'll still have money left over to get something else. You can get the FSTB for under $50. Then save the rest for an intake.
