Best way to spend 100-200 bucks

dukeluke02 · 04-23-2007, 11:17 PM

Hey all,
I have some spare change as of right now and wondering what your opinions are the best way to use the money for. I could prob spare about 150 bucks.
I have an 06 auto NHBP EX coupe. Everything is stock, except I've got the windows tinted.
Ideas I've thought about.... clear tailights w/ some type of bulb (led or chrome amber), get HIR headlamps, get foglights (lil more exp), nice seat covers to protect the tan interior (darn light color) get the floor mats by weathertech, some type of performance mod..... thats all can think of thats crossed my mind so far.... hit me up with ideas

HID's =)!

performance-wise, the cost might be a little higher than 200. most intakes and suspension mods run 200+. nothing wrong with fixing up the aesthetics, though. definitely feeling the clear tailights w/ the chrome amber!

A-Plan: You can deposit 200 in my bank account

B-Plan: Purchase a Fujita or Injen CAI (That was my first mod and i

)

Salu2.

Is a CAI stupid on a auto tho..... and what is the norm price for that?
suspension.... dont know about... maybe some struts help out the handling, but would I notice w/ normal day to day driving?

gotta say wish I woulda waited a bit longer to purchase the car, but I needed one, and the deal was awesome.... wanted a white/blue manual lmao... got black... its ok, but hard to keep clean!

truflip · 04-24-2007, 01:45 AM

get the fog lights. they add a touch of uniqueness and make ur car stand out very well :)

give it to me and you have your answer...

undrgnd · 04-24-2007, 04:54 PM

HIDs, and a Helms FSM. Best $200 you will ever spend.

audiophile · 04-24-2007, 05:08 PM

edit: i'm dumb.

lowering springs...

asndragonboii · 04-24-2007, 05:30 PM

actually... HIDs and a HELMs manual like the dude said is a pretty good idea.

dukeluke02 · 04-24-2007, 09:48 PM

Helms?

CrAsian · 04-24-2007, 10:12 PM

i'd choose performance over HIDs
maybe a progress rear sway bar?

Not trying to knock you for your opinion [at all!], but there is so much better things you can do with your money on your car than get JDM "H" emblems. Not that I don't like them, I do, but to me that is one of those mods that is like "I'm really freaking bored and have money to spend and have done everything to my car that I want so why the hell not" lol.

I'd say get the Progress Sway Bar like a few other people mentioned.

inyong1988 · 04-24-2007, 11:38 PM

^^^ you just have to see them on your car and see them in person. and plus, you can't get intake for 200 bucks anyway (unless its a used one)
