Add Nitrous for instant gratification, a thumpin sterio for ear thrills, and whatever else left in the budget for looks.

Am in the auto repair industry. Start where most dont. Black paint looks beautiful if maintained, but WILL stain, fade, and show signs of wear and cost ALOT to have repainted to look like a factory paint job. Do a three step Meguiar's detail, Auto parts store stock. Depending on miles, keep up with brakes, alignments, balance, air filter and so on. A couple hundred dollars put to good use, while you have the cash. Then have some fun. 3.55 or 3.73's depending on whether you drive mostly hwy., or around town. K&N filter, and possible CAI. Improve the breathing of the engine (intake and exhaust). If installed/repaired professionally, You will probably have enough money left to take friends out for burgers and racing.

Fak bolt ons, lol! Save a little bit more a get a S/C. Tie up lose ends with little bolt ons later. S/C and gears will make your ride seem like a totaly different car. Youll crap your pants.

Do 3.73 gears, CAI, Flowmaster 40 series duals, headers, larger throttle body, get some rims and tires too. Try some 17x8 in the front and 17/9 on the back with 245/45 series tires in the front and 275/35 series tires in the back.

Supercharger for a little bit more...lol. unless you have the know how...such an add on will cost you 5 grand and up. Stick with gears, exhaust, intake mods, or even suspension improvements.
