Graduation Presents

[01TRDGTS]

I am a senior this year and graduating next friday. Yay .. Anyway, i've been getting money but, I came up with a idea and my dad went for it ;). So what should I get? Here is a list I came up with.:

- 8000k H.I.D's
- PIAA Super White Fog Light Bulbs
- AEM CAI
- Llyod Floor Mats (A must mine are getting worn!)
- Alpine Headunit
- TRD Exhaust
- Gauge Overlay

Since its graduation I'm sure I can talk him into all of this but, does anyone agree/disagree with my choices?

8000K HIDS with White Fogs won't look good IMO, Get yellow bulbs for the fogs.

Well since you asked. Get OEM 4300K hids so you can see better...it's hard to see with anything over 6000K. I would also suggest an Injen CAI since alot of people have had issues lately with the AEM cracking at the mount. The same goes for the TRD exhaust...try the Greddy Evo 2 exhaust. It is cheaper and it sounds good without being to loud. I would also trade out the fog light bulbs, headunit, etc for a boosted ported stock header. If you can spend anymore get a set of good set of springs/struts. Now I think I am finished spending your money. Congratulations on graduating.

if you want performance then stay with the TRD exhaust...or go with a custom straight pipe setup

Where do I find the OEM hids at? My stock head unit is sort of broke, it skips all the time and sometimes just takes lil' fits. So I'm looking at: Injen Cai, Greddy Evo 2 Exhaust, Head unit.

injen cai = bog the most unless u get pfc to tune it
u can get a nice headunit for around 150shipped play mp3/wma/aac.. @ crutchfield.com ..
exhaust is up to you..

[atrac7GTS]

headunit for sure if your's is messing up at the moment, HIDS (but not at 8000K...) and the exhaust...but as said before by someone, go for the greddy evo2 rather than the TRD :0

Get CAI best bang for the buck (cheap mods) and easy to install yourself.

I got a brand new Mercedes C280 when I graduated... But then it was from Biological Engineering, and my parents thought I would be at CDC or CSI or hospital doing bloodwork or something... Who knew I would work as an private accountant fooling around with numbers instead of chemicals/germs/viruses :gap:

Well if your getting money for graduation. You could do what I'm doing, saving it for college where you will be broke.

I'm definitely getting a CAI, exhaust, head unit and keyless entry for now.

I'm leaning towards this deck:Apline IDA-X001 (http://www.crutchfield.com/S-QXzrg6fSP8E/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?search=IDA%2DX001&i=500IDAX001)

What you guys think? :wiggle:

It does not have a CD player, just so you're aware of that.

You can search crutchfield but never buy from them. Their prices are astronomically high. I spent 1500 on my head unit from ebay...had it 2 years and still works great. At the same time crutchfield had it reduced on sale to 2,300.00 at the time. 99% of their inventory is astronomically priced.
