Best mod <$350 installed?

[SilverGlow14]

Around $350 is my limit for Christmas. MAYBE more if it REALLY worth it and a REALLY good deal. I have a GT automatic (so it's NOT gonna be fast any time soon). Mods so far:

Custom Grill
Euro Bumper Lenses
All hyper white lights
Silver Engine Panels
BUtterfly Removed w/ TRD High Flow Filter
S2000 Antenna
Red Painted Calipers
Red CELICA Fill in

The apparent choices are Altezza lights, and I can get the silver for a good price, $50 less than the carbon fiber, but i just like the carbon fiber better. Then again, too ricey for a slow car like mine? It's pretty ricey already. Intakes? Exhaust? Dask kit? Decisions Decisions. What do you think?

Injen CAI 205.00 shipped (install yourself)
MB Auto Sport Hood Scoop 125.00 + S&H (install yourself)

gives a little extra power, nice looks and good sound :)

Dangit Larry, could you let someone else answer a question now and then....

You jackass...:p

[Chiznarles]

since most of your mods seem to be for show, and you said you don't plan on going fast any time soon, why don't you get an exhaust? It will complete the exterior look of your car and maybe even add some HP?

Cause exhausts cost more then 350? I like Larrys suggestions. He defiently should look into the hood scoop.

I think just for the sake of the sound it makes (and as a side effect, makes ya some more power), get a CAI.

Or, if handling and being lower doesn't strike ya as too bad.

TRD Springs (install yourself)
ST Rear Sway Bar (install yourself)

I had the ST bar and the CAI right neck and neck for the best "bang for the buck" mods out there.

Lets see..for things that you could install yourself, and that meet your price range would be: a carbon fiberhood, but i dunno how good the quality would be, and u'd need some kind of a hookup. You could also get a S-AFC, a simple head unit, a set of lowering springs, RMM, Hypermotive or APR front strut bar and TRD or Hypermotive rear strut bar, CAI or short ram intake, MB autosport hoodscoop, and i think u can get 1 racing seat (probably by tenzoR, or some other lower quality brand).

other than that..you can go out and buy and have someone install a custom exhaust by getting an Apex' N1 muffler or any other mufflers you like and get it custom piping by a shop.

good luck...hope you get what you want for Christmas

If you're going just for show, then sway bars aren't going to do anything do you.

You could get:
$350 Hotchkis front strut bar with camber plates
$150 Aluminum Dash kit
$60 new shift boot
$80 new shift knob
$70 indiglo guages

[Silver00GT]

a set of strut bars always looks nice. can't get shift boot or knob because it's auto though
