$500 to spend..what to do?

TheBlackBullet · 03-08-2008, 11:35 PM

So I sold my old rims and now feel like doing something else to the car..oh what an addiction....so far I have an intake..exhaust..tints..thats about it..so I was just wondering what I can do for $500. I was thinking of doing either foglights, front HFP kit, 2 way auto start, short shifter, hondata reflash or springs....any other ideas?..which should i do?...and please dont say save for FI...don't want to turbo right now..

if i wanted clothes i wouldn't be posting here..obviously i want something for the car..im a noob when it comes to this stuff so i figured id ask the 8th to help me decide which would be most beneficial..the only problem with the headers is the CEL which i dont wanna deal with..i have an 07 and installing fogs i heard was a pain..otherwise..i wouldve done that for sure..dealer said something like 275 for labor and 325 for parts..what a rip off..

02civicsi · 03-09-2008, 04:20 PM

Save up alittle more & get the Refalsh if you want more performance.

TheBlackBullet · 03-09-2008, 04:21 PM

do i have to order the reflash online or from a dealer?

kplax35 · 03-09-2008, 04:21 PM

**** that...look in the DIY section....it takes like 1 hr to install the fogs IF that. Dealer FTL

In a word yes. You will pay a dealer but send the ECU to Hondata in Cali..

i say get the hfp suspension...

TheBlackBullet · 03-09-2008, 04:32 PM

how much does it cost to get the hfp suspension put in?..i was thinking of just getting eibach sportlines and a rear camber kit..

02civicsi · 03-09-2008, 04:34 PM

Depends on where you go to get it installed. The stealer will charge you $90 a hr for labour @ least. Too bad you don't live near me because I would install it for free.

klk15 · 03-09-2008, 04:45 PM

just do the install yourself.... its really simple...

Sexy6Speed · 03-09-2008, 04:48 PM

id get front hfp kit, springs and comptech ss. that should be just alittle over $500

TheBlackBullet · 03-09-2008, 04:51 PM

i don't trust installing myself..i am afraid of ******* it up..so looks like HFP suspension is out of the question at least till the summer..so..so far its reflash...or fogs and front hfp kit..or drop it on some springs...

TheBlackBullet · 03-09-2008, 04:53 PM

also..if i buy the front hfp kit..how much does shipping usually run?..i was thinking of getting it from college hills honda i think for like 307 plus shipping..i put in my address for chicago but it said could not be processed..not sure why..and is the install easy?

klk15 · 03-09-2008, 04:56 PM

the price includes shipping.... at collegehillshonda i believe.

Sexy6Speed · 03-09-2008, 04:58 PM

u can check this out for the front lip :Jay Honda Accessories: HFP they have them advertised for $262, id imagine thats plus shipping but it may be less than $307 when its all said and done.
