I got $100 to spend on the car this week.

What should I do?

RAM Air Intake - $30
Save $20 more and buy new tailights (white and red) - $120
Carbon Fiber centerpiece - $100
New headlights (as we all know, they get yellowish after a while, mine are already there) - $90

I was thinking about getting the taillights now and when I get some more money I'll get the CAI.

Tail Lights! Tail Lights!
Style man

The rest can wait.

CAI all the way

Then you can save up with the remaining money you have and get the other stuff

Actually, I just checked S&H to Puerto Rico for the tail lights and they go up to $150, so they're out of the list right now.

Maybe I should get the new headlights then.

i would do a complete dash trim makeover. wood,aluminum..etc

it changes the inner cabin completely. unless you already have something like that..

Maybe I can get a few extra bucks somewhere and get the headlights and the CAI now.

It sucks not having a job.

I have a wood dash trim, which I don't like a whole lot, but it was already there. I want a carbon fiber dash trim, but it's about $200. That can wait a while.

If you can get a CAI for $30.00 you should get it. But you're probably looking at a short ram instead of a CAI. I dont know of any CAI's for $30.00.

war0827 · 05-02-2004, 11:52 PM

go with the short ram. it'll make your car sound nice

.tony. .riot. · 05-03-2004, 06:19 AM

Yeah, it's a RAM Air Intake, sorry.

tails....

***Razo-E*** · 05-03-2004, 07:13 AM

get whatever's more expensive first...

how about you think long and hard before you spend your saved up money. since you dont have a job, sounds like its going to be hard to come up with more dough to work on yer car.

my 2 cents is to save the dinero.

I do websites to get some money, next week I might be getting a car audio shop's website...that's $500 right there. So that's why I'm thinking on what to spend these $100.

first thing i bought for my car was an intake...

I already explained why I haven't taken the chrome fenders out, I'm not typing it again.

About the dash, I prefer the wood trim rather than the black parts. When I get the money I will put a carbon fiber trim kit. For now, the wood stays.
