Default Christmas List/ Few Questions

What should I ask from my parents for Christmas, limit$500 (since they did buy me the car new)? It can be anything; tint, wheels, audio, louvers, tinted lights. Also then, I usually get Christmas money from relatives and I am planning to get double white stripes. Sorry about the one fuzzy picture but it is the only one with my new rocker panels on it.

Current Mods:Shorty antenna and rocker panels


Questions:
1. Why do we have the side marker lights, I see a lot of two door sports cars with out them.
2. Is there a way to disable the beep when you double click the key fob?

I believe it's law in the US to have side markers, a lot of sports cars just have the taillights wrap around to the side slightly so that they count as side markers.

I'd definately go with tint, I don't know what else though

How about either a CAI&Tunecombo or some aftermarket axle-back mufflers?

Definitely CAI + Tune! It's a little over $500, but tell them you'll spring for the rest!

I believe the FOB beep can be disabled. It should be in the owner's manual. I know you can have the lights come on when you unlock the car with the FOB, or disable that functions.

Ok...my lights already come on when I unlock the car, I'll read around the pages about lights coming on.

IDK about CAI + tune because no real gains. That will be when I save my money for a GT. I kinda like the Flowmaster 40 exhasut and Mac axle back exhasut.

Now about tint, would it look good to have 35% on driver and passenger windows. Then 25% on the two quarter windows and rear? In MD I think 35% is the legal limit. Would it look sharp with white stripes? Also vista blue mirror covers.

Thats really cool... now more dilemma because that looks pretty cool. By coating you do you mean powder coating? And how are tinted lights that cheap? And springs?

Definitely get some tint done, it's usually $150-175 around here and makes the car look a lot better. MD law is 35% all around but the 2 different ones wouldn't look bad. I just went 35% all around because I have a black interior so it looks darker anyways. I'm not going for the blackout effect, just the tinted and nicer look.

What about interior dress up? The interior can look really awesome with some bling.

Moco represent!
