with $1,000 what mods would you do?

My girl and i recently had our anniversary so i had her H2 hooked up, Punch amps, P2 subs, something reasonable, she loved it cuz shes a pro dancer and she's into music like that....i got up this morning and when i opened my door, on my seat was a check for $1,000 from her with "MAXIMA MONEY" in the memo line....so its go time...

what mods would you guys do, consider cost of labor and i have an automatic....i have CAI, chrome 17's, fstb, eibach drop....and a bunch of interior stuff....but i want some performance mods...

y pipe, and VB mod dont count i was doing those anyway.....

more power, more speed......

thanks for the advice fellas.....

It's funny, I got a 1000 too from the accident, but I decided to go with the TV and new speakers. I would get a stillen kit, but the winter is coming so I'll try to save up for the spring

igot tvs in headrest, avic n1 touchscreen navi/dvd/mp3 player, cd changer, tv tuner, tints all around, red/clears, hid kit, 1200 watt system, alpine and beyla speakers,

so my list looks like: aside from vb mod and y pipe....udp mod, mevi, jwt ecu (but id need to buy one from 95,96 max first, so that could kill me a little) jwt only goes up to 96 with their upgrades....torque converter? how much is that and what exactly does this do?

thanks, if there are anymore u can think of post it please....ill be doing everything the weekend after next when im free, ordering stuff middle of next week....

oh and i like the stillen body kit, but i scrape now....i cant imagine what i would do with a stillen kit, wouldnt i hit the floor every time? im in nyc....even going up my driveway would be the end of me wit a bodykit, wouldnt i?


oh and the struts i have with my eibachs im not sure of, they may be aftermarket, i never looked nor did the guys say anything to me when i had them put in my eibachs, wish my only honest mechanic didnt move to fl, dammit.....

I'd say take the 1,000 bucks and put a downpayment on a wedding ring - she sounds like a KEEPER. (assuming you arent already married...)

MEVI is going to run around $600 for everything.

But I think you should reinvest the $1000 on your gf and see if you can double your money.

with tvs in the headrest and all that other baller crap you shouldnt be concerned with performance or a sport look. trade out those 17" chromies and get dubs, then you can be ghetto-riffic

Try putting her H2 grille on your car.
Along with the MEVI, spend some time reducing some weight off of the max.

if I had $1000 and my max wasn't being threatened by my negligent & jealous brother, part of that 1K would go to replacing the foglights & the timing chain tensioner. another part would go to tires. doesn't leave me w/ much for performance mods, but w/ the remaining $$ it would go to clear corners, red/clears, & PIAA Xtreme White headlights, foglights & domelights, maybe even make my gauges light up a brighter white
