Default What to do to my car now?

I have $800 to play with.

Do not want:
New rims
Gears
Longtubes

Just throw some suggestions out.

Just ordered MAC flowpaths to replace my SLP LM1s.

Current mods are:
Lowered (ISOs removed)
Mach 1 Chin
Mach 1 grille delete
Tinted tails
Bumper and trunk blackout
Calipers painted red
Shorty antenna






One thing I do want to do is get darker tint, and my stock rims are going to be painted black in the new month.

Looking for visual stuff for the time being. I really have no need for better performance as this car is my daily, and is never raced or tracked.

Why don't you want new rims?
With 800 you could get an s281 spoiler, thats probably what I would do if I had the same wants as you.

why don't you want gears? That is the one single mod to wake up your car.

Well I guess the question is , do you want performance mods or looks ?

A SCT tuner wouldnt be a bad buy.
Maybe a plenum and TB upgrade.
Or you can take the money and start building a SC kit

And remove that Collage sticker on back window. LOL

I really like your car man. If it were mine, I'd go with darker tint and an 99/01 cobra bumper.

What are your plans for the car? My favorite white new edge is Patricks....mustangman00 I think is his username. His car is badddddddass.

Tune and a o/r h pipe gets my vote.

Really don't want to spend the money on rims when I could paint mine black, and I still have good tires. It's not something that's gonna happen right now. I could always get rims when these tires are bald.

Not after performance since it's my daily and I'm getting 27MPG now, which is nice.

The sticker is staying. I'm proud of my college. And I'm more after visual mods than performance.

Pat goes to school here. Darker tint is a must, and the 99/01 bumper is a good idea! That's the kind of ideas I need!

If I was to change from an offroad x, it would be a prochamber and not a H pipe. So, that's anotehr good idea! Thanks!

if it's visual mods I'd suggest painting the side mirrors to color match
