$500 to spend on mods...what to do???

RReuphoria · 05-12-2008, 04:02 PM

Ok, I have an 08' FG2.

I have about $500.00 to spend. I only have wheels, tires, tint, and a CAI as of right now. What else should I buy (and brand)?

I would eventually like to get:

1) HFP front/rear lip
2) Springs
3) Header
4) Exhaust
5) HID kit
6) Fogs
7) Sway + camber

What would be the best mods to do from this list? I am equally concerned with performance (I autox), and style. OMG this sucks lol

Help me make a decision, and I'll buy whatever it is and post before/after pics for your viewing pleasure :)

***volksi*** · 05-12-2008, 04:07 PM

Springs, and keep saving your $ for header & exhaust

***sh33t_0f_p4p3r*** · 05-12-2008, 06:01 PM

for 500$ u can get a dc header and a fujita intake

SoCal07Si · 05-12-2008, 06:03 PM

Header FTMFW!!!

RReuphoria · 05-12-2008, 06:44 PM

I'm thinking either DC or Vibrant w/cat delete. Which is better???

SoCal07Si · 05-12-2008, 06:45 PM

vibrant w/o cat

***MFDOOM44*** · 05-12-2008, 07:23 PM

in your situation, the $500 will best be spent on some springs and camber kit.

pgFA · 05-12-2008, 07:25 PM

Exhaust or Headers or Springs/HID/FOGS or Springs/Camber.

Personally, I would go w/ exhaust.

The best mod to do is a get a quality alarm. Don't be like this kid: When I thought my neighborhood was safe....

k20kat · 05-12-2008, 09:14 PM

if you want speed, dc sports race header!!!! if you want looks, drop springs

AEM > Injen

I like the AEM much more. It's about 6 inches longer than the Ingen, and sounds much deeper. No difference in power/performance.

IMO the injen sounds a little raspy.

SoCal07Si · 05-12-2008, 11:31 PM

AEM owns Injen...

(prepares for the flames)

RReuphoria · 05-13-2008, 12:31 AM

There was something wrong with my intake today, and a weird sound coming from the engine bay. I pulled over on a side road off the highway, and opened the hood. It was really strange and it didn't register for a moment what was happening. As I stood there staring at my engine I noticed the sound was my AEM intake raping the piss out of an Ingen intake. Weird...

Save another 100 bucks and get the Hondata reflash

austinxcore444 · 05-13-2008, 01:20 AM

and everyone has said injen
