paint your calipers, make sure your throttle plate is horizontal (link on main page) spark plugs, stickers (talk to drbalazo if you want decals). I bought windshield decals that match up with my paint, and it made the car look better, imo. tint your windows, get rid of the stock rubber on the front tires and slap nitto4fiddies on.

go to a swap meet, and get a box and amp

What is a throttle thing?

Uhh...nevermind that. I don't want you breaking anything. Just go to your nearest auto parts store and start buying some racing pedals and seatbelt covers. Then save some money and read up before jumping into things.

(I'm not being sexist either! This is totally an individual assessment and I think it's best to take it slow. I didn't even know what a CAI was for a long time.) emoji

for that 8k, u could have one of the baddest cars on here. Think about it. Your car will get older, and u will too, but an older person can appreciate travel more. emoji I know, I'm not making sense. Lowering isn't much. If u have a bf, he should know how to do it for you. around 200 for springs.

Here is a bit of advice read a book. Know a little before you start working on your car. You at least need to know the basics, or your just going to look like a dumbass girl (or worse a ricer).

This is coming from another girl, dont get your feelings hurt.
Your car looks tight and with a little research (and alot of absolut)
you can make it live up to its potential.

BTW dont put the girlie girl racing sticker on.

why a girlie girl racing stick..??? carrie she said speed kills ahah..

anyhow.. theres tons of cheap stuff u can do..

well id say the first is to clean her up really good. get in that engine learn what everything is and where it is.. get that int clean as can be.. if you want to change the int color painting is easy..

learn how to take care of your paint so it will last.. i had tons of compliments on my stock paint.. but now i have aftermarket paint and im learning to be much more careful with it and such..plus i live 5 mins from a air port.. and i live on a air force base.. soo all the crap from planes and such is in the air and getting on my paint.. not good

if u have 8 grand make a list of things you want and then buy them..

i used to have off the wall lists when i first got my car.. thinking awww ill never get that or what not.. and now i have it.. 2 years later.. so things happen

make sure u know what u want.. i started with a silver car with black and red as my colors.. then a few months later i wasnt really feeling the red.. so i went to blue and silver under hood, black and silver ext.. and black and silver int.. with a few blue things

get some wheels b4 a kit most def... some springs or even coilovers because we have terrible wheel gap.

the TB plate thing vegas was talking about it just making sure that when u push the gas pedal down all the way that ur plate is horizontal.... so that when ur full throttle u know all the air that can is getting in there.

go to www.2gnt.com go to mods and u can find it there.. its easy. not really a mod just a check.. i bet urs is fine.. ur car is pretty new..


but clean up that engine.. a clean engine always looks good and always runs better..



I love dino and 2gnt. ####ers (my word) bliz stole it but i let him borrow it

You're an automatic right? Want some AT racing pedals? I got them for my brithday last year and well ... they aren't gonna do me any good after this weekend (tranny swap emoji ). I'll sell 'em super dirt cheap. If you want them then whenever you come by the shop (ARD), we can hash out a deal for them and you can have nice looking carbon fiber (probably fake) pedals. Let me know.
