first mods?

i saved up some money and now i think im ready to mod my max. by the end of the summer im looking to have it repainted (terrible repair job= bad, bad, bad black paint), sitting on sprints, with a budget y-pipe, an obx catback, and a new h/u+sub. all in all id say i can get everything done for about $1500.

anyway, im looking to get the sprints+h/u or the sprints+y-pipe first. or maybe just all three...who knows? the h/u is most urgent though since i cant play cd's w/my bose. what do you think i should do?

you'll probably blow your stock struts pretty quickly with sprints.

What im planning on doing this summer is things that will not break the bank.

I just got my 15 dollar ebay strut bar..Actaully a noticable difference when i turn.

1. Im doing show first...20% black tint all around $150

2. I would like to get a set of altezzas and crack them open to skyline them out. $150

3. Decal $25

4. Sprints $130
5. agx shock/structs ~280
6. I hope a type 2 spolier copy $200

for performance

1. budget y like your gonna get...

2. I really want an apexi catback..damn backorders.

And im done modding..maybe a bodykit later but not till next year i dont want to pour to much money into the max, i rather save for a new car in a few years. Peace.

Out of those rim the ones that look good to me IMHO are the last ones, what about these rims or something along this line?

I personnally like blades on something with a twist as you can see from my homepage

If you look around "ebay" you can find a really light set of rims that will look nice on your car, btw what color and year is it?
