i got $3600 coming back on my income taxes, and wanna put money into my car. i don't know where to start...cuz there's so much i want to do. i was just wondering what's you guys' suggestions on what should be done first. i more into looks than performance...but all suggestions welcome. thanx

 

--carbon fiber lip-around 300$
--carbon fiber hood-380$
--carbon fiber trunk-600$
--y pipe-around 300$ for a good one
--intake from ebay-really cheap i got mine for 60$ and it works great
--aniversary edition headlights-almost free just have to buy the paint so it would be 4 to 5 dollars
--dallas style tail lights(red and black) or red and clears-almost free unless u want to buy the red and clears which are around 150$i think
--clear or black housing bumper lights-around 40$from ebay
--catback exhaust-200 to 300$
--jdm style blacked out clear corners(by the headlight)-almost free
--gauges-around 20 to 30 from ebay
--carbon fiber gauge bezel-i got mine for 20
--nismo racing seats-350 for both from ebay with brackets
--drop the ride with some agx's with some springs-around 700 to 800
--z3 or phase 3 fenders-around 400
--bodykits-range from 500 to around 1000

there is more but thats what i would start with if i had that much money, im still waiting for my taxes.....hopefully i got alot back.
anybody else please add..........im running out of ideas, these are all of the things that i can think of but most of the things are worthless and don't look good at all.

 

he is a 96...rules out the red/clears

If you have that much, just some quick suggestions would be: intake, y-pipe, lowering springs and struts, stillen body kit, some of the small things vspec suggested, and 5th gen wheels, since you're more into looks.

 

yea deffinetly the 5th gen wheels, u can get them from car-pars.com from 200, they might be scratched but all u got to do is paint them.
....................When is Nismo comming out with some parts for our cars....does anybody know, im looking forward to that.

 

Clear fronts---$30
Tint----------$225
Middle Eastern Variable Intake/JWT-ECU(computer raises rev limiter)---the best $1100 you can spend
Y-pipe-replaces stock Pre-Cats with straight pipe--- $160
Cold-Air Intake-----------$150

Then do your suspension but all that is up to you according to the ride you want and the handleing you desire

150 is too much for a intake for me, ebay one will just as good.

 

forget the carbon fiber...

budget y pipe- 200 shipped
front strut bar-30 bucks ebay
Injen cold air intake
greddy sp2 or obx full catback
progress springs w/kyb agx's for suspension drop
tint
18" rims
stillen body kit
HIDS

 

dude simple get a super charger. That's what I would do. But it's also what I want to/

 

yea that would be a good idea but he is going for more looks than performance.

 

Get the projectors that are in GD forum. CF hood, trunk, front lip, with the m3 fenders from redlinemax.com, with teh CF trunk u have to get 97-99 tailights, so make them red/clear right away, shaved door handles on rear and the strip that goes down side of doors. And then through on body kit, anyone that suits you, and then go get some rims with a 2" drop and your all set.

CF Hood- $400 shipp(maxmojo GD)
CF Trunk- $765 shipped (ionicdynamics/sadler GD)
CF front lip-$300 shipped(ionicdynamics GD)
KYBAGX struts- around $400-$450 shipped
Coilovers, depedning on what kinda from $200 shipped to JIC around $2000.00 shipped.
M3 Fenders- around $360 shipped (redlinemax.com)
97-99 tailights- about $100 bucks with red/clear mod done
shave the door handles and stripwith paint probally around $600 + about 150+ for door popers
dunno bout what price rims etc
bodykit-$500-$1000

but it all costs money good luck! i wish my tax return was that much .thats alittle of what im doing for exterior interior a whole otehr ball game

chillen max u rolling on coilovers? if so what kind and hows the ride? and what struts u match it with?

Don't get 5th gen wheels. Why go from a 16.5lb wheel to a wheels that weighs 20lbs+?

 

if he is going for looks...

 

thanks for the replies....i was really thinkin about 19in rims, shaved handles, and the sarona back bumper and sides....i don't know about the front. i'm ordering DC's from custommaxima now. the only mod i have now are strobe lights in the front lights, and behind the grill...and in the rear...and a 7.2 inch monitor in the dash. i was lookin for a 7", but i bought the wrong size. i just took the screen out the casing and put it in...it works good...and a PS2. if there's any other ideas, keep them coming.....thanx again

 

I hear the Y-pipe is the best bang for the buck as far as performance. Right now I'm organizing a group deal on the Warpspeed aluminized ones for $160, if you want in on that. It goes til 2/21.
