Help! I need Cheap mods!
I am currently a junior in high school and my grandma recently purchased me an '05 Satin Silver V6. Seeing as im in high school and aren't makin the big bucks yet, i need some inexpensive, but good, mods. i have some in mind but don't know how much it would cost me.
how much would a GT take-off exhaust and rear bumber be?
also how could i find a GT500 front end to put on?
Any help is greatly greatly appreciated.

I have a GT takeoff muffler...$40 off craigslist but ask on the forums...the GT guys are always getting rid of theirs...i have the single one on it sounds a lot better than the Dual..if you want to go dual its expensive..and the only really good one out there is the Borla Stingers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONrIniSXIjo
thats the link to my muffler.
rear bumper probably arround $2-300 painted try Newtakeoff.com thats where i got my GT takeoff front bumper...which by the way was deliverd today
i also have GT takeoff suspension coils and struts i got for $100 also from craigslist.
im in Highschool too and im scraping my earnings for mods.
i want a Cold air intake and tune but thats going to run over $600
as for apperence you can get a shorty antenna for $20

Like lethal said I think the two cheapest mods are the shorty antenna and upgrading the muffler. Some things to consider though is you could also cut the stock one like some people have and if you are set on having dual exhaust could always cut the bumper instead of buying a whole new bumper. I have done neither one of these just throwing things out there.
Throw some pics up though so we know what you working with.

Avoid the GT spring/strut swap. Pointless and it upsets
the front end handling.
If its a V6 and not a PonyPackage, get a rear GT take-off sway bar
under there asap. And the front V6 sway needs to be upgraded to
a GT take-off as well. And Prothane Poly Bushings are also a plus
and cheap.
If you go GT take-off mufflers, be sure that they are M/T take-offs
not AUTO take-offs.
auto is F1-7991-l, manual is F1-7849-l
Remove the warning stickers from the sun visors.
