Default 1 Grand... Tell Me What To Do!

Ok, So Thats Basicly It, I Have 1000 Bucks Saved Up, What Should I Get For It? Right Now I Have A Pro 5.0 Short Throw Shifter In, Thats It... Besides A Radar Detector... So What Engine Upgrades? What Looks Upgrades? On The Looks Side I Have Smoked Headlights. I Know This Question Has Been Asked Alot, So I Apologize For The Bother. Much Appreciated.

lol yellow... if you dont invest it.. then i would buy 4.10 gears, gear install kit, and get them installed.. that should run about 600. and then spend the other 400. on a catback exhaust. that way youll have torque and sound taken care of.

ummm well sorry for my first response, that would be the wise thing to do, but it sounds like your a young kid with money burning a hole in his wallet, I would go for a full exhaust, off ebay of course, cost you about 800 around there, then get a cold air intake. so you car can breath easier. Or ... Or you could save for another month or so till you have enough to buy the big boy stuff...( SUPERCHARGER)

I agree with 01GTType – I’d get gears (FRPP 4.10's) and a hand held tuner (I have an Xcal 2). That will run you about a grand total…

as said, get the gears! should have enough for a catback + gears + install. if you buy it all at the same shop, they'll probably do the catback for free since they'll have it up in the air. i had my x pipe done at a shop for free since i bought it all there and they had my car up in the air already.
