Are you going for looks or performance? Exterior or interior or engine bay?

Well, the Y-pipe is the best mod ever so like the prev. fellow said you could save up for one...

Otherwise, theres some cheap stuff on ebay. You might be able to squeak an Intake, grounding kit and colored hoses to make your engine bay look either better or worse depending on if you like that kinda look... Up 2 u

From looking at your cardomain I think I see chrome around the windows. Go to Autozone and buy some trim black out tape and go to town. It costs around $5 but makes the Max look SOOO clean. I currently have my driver door done but haven't gotten to the rest since it is so cold. It looks so good and the tape is nearly undetectable once you put it on.

Dude, I would check out what Happyricefob has going. He seems to have some good stuff. My vote would be to go for the Warpspeed y-pipe and then you can enjoy the power boost. It will jump you up like 15 or so hp. Not bad for $100. Plus, you can do the other silly stuff later. It will be more fun to have the power now.

Also, for like $3.99, you could go to AutoZone and get some high temp paint and paint your callipers. I think white would look great on your car, with the blue and the chrome wheels and clears.

(New, Used, who cares...it is all good!)

Even if you wanted to stay with new stuff, you can still pick up a Bomz intake and FSTB off ebay for $75 or so. Also, you can probably find a set of Maxspeed springs for under $100. After looking at your page, it looks like you could really use a drop. The wheel gap is pretty big. You could probably do what I'm doing, run maxspeeds on stock shocks for awhile while you save up the money for struts.

As for really cheap mods, like Brudaddy said, paint calipers, red out the tails, things like that. I think there's a post in the FAQs about really cheap mods. Also, it looks like you still have the pinstripe on there from the pics, I'd consider taking it off, but that's just personal preference. Good luck!

For less than 100...

I would get the chrome Guage rings. You see it everytime you drive and has more appeal.

I love my guage rings.
