If you had 1000.00 - 1200.00 to spend...
What would you do/get for your ride. I have a 06 Tungsten Grey GT (auto). I've already put on a CAI and have a tuner (in process of being purchased already and NOT part of the 1000 - 1200), engine dressed up with various parts, lowered with the Eibach Pro kit springs (stock shocks/struts), stock 5 spoke 17's (Painted) with spinners, rear MRT louvers and cdc side louvers, agent47 racing mirrors, cdc chin spoiler, the only interior mods are the door sill lettering and inserts, embroidered headrests, and upgraded speakers (stock subs, shaker 500). I've got so many mods running through my head at the moment I do not know the direction I want to go. I turn 40 on Friday (ugh) and this is the cash I've got to spend on the car (love you honey). So, with that being said, I've got these mods in my head as of today:
(forgot to add flowmaster american thunders already on car)
cdc shaker hood
kooks long headers
shorty headers (no brand picked yet)
suspension package
silverhorse side louvers (as stated, has cdc louvers already)
aftermarket hood (have no clue on which one, should be a different topic on its own)
painted black hood stripes or middle of hood black out (currently car is a retro mod after the 69/70 Mach 1)
alpine or kenwood nav system to replace the shaker 500 (shaker 500 already has sat. radio)
roush hood scoop
future mod will be a whipple superchager when I can save up the cash
Some pics of car attached.

as far as wheels go I have looked and looked (uncountless hours) and like these (yes I know they are stock) they are on deekum1627s ride:

RE: If you had 1000.00 - 1200.00 to spend...
I'd get a set of axle backs just to give it a little more rumble and not spend more than $400. Then, I would surprise my significant other with a weekend getaway. That $800 spur of the moment money spent will yield long term returns. Women want their men to be spontaneous. So get the axle backs for yourself and give yourself to her (that would be for both of you) 40....still plenty of time to get a new Challenger and Camaro and then have 1 of each

if it were me, i'd start hittin up the suspension. you say you're lowered already, so why not finish the job with some tokico's, lca's, phb, sway, etc.? i've read many posts speaking to the benefits of replacing the stock shocks/strutsonce thesprings are done. and if you were to do this, you'd still have some $$ left to spend as well [8D]

Choice #1: Wheels/Tires, save a little more and get them, it will make a huge difference.
Choice #2:CDC Shaker would look awesome on your car.
I would recommend getting the wheels/tires though, your car looks great right now, and would look awesome with some new shoes.

wheels...changes the look of the car................
if u dont want to spend more than you have but still want wheels to change your car, you can buy a set of 18" polished bullets off of ebay or from someone selling them in the classified section in these forums and they will come with tires too!....
