Now you're showing your age. I feel the exact same way.

LOL. Yes, there's a corney saying I think of every now and then: "One must first be young and dumb before they can be old and wise".

Well the Berk technology muffler delete is nice and loud. I heard it in person last week and I love it. Plus it is only 300 bucks, good deal.

For 500, I'd get small cosmetic mods done like carbon fiber accents on the interior or exterior or vinyl'd roof. Simply because 500 really isn't that much at all..save the big money for performance

Get a tune.. I just got mine today by Pure Automotive, best upgrade thus far!! The improvement was well worth the money

retrosmiths · 08-07-2013, 08:52 PM

Is it worth it to tune a bone stock FRS?

d4wt · 08-07-2013, 10:16 PM

unichip

already have it, but it's a great deal man. any future mods you do (with the exception of some) you can continue to see more gains. grabbing a wideband and the tuning software and after a bit of datalogging and some tinkering you'll be extremely satisfied.

yes there are better options out there are far as tuning goes but best bang for 500 honestly goes to the unichip imho.

secondly i'd say better tires but you won't get the best tires for 500 bucks

fatpwr · 08-07-2013, 11:32 PM

i'll probably get motor mounts and a rear diff brace..

LeeMaster · 08-07-2013, 11:37 PM

Borla UEL Header, why? Because it's made in America and it DOES disappear the power dip and they honor your warranty.

kodyo · 08-07-2013, 11:57 PM

I don't think I've spent $500 on my car yet, but I like what I've done so far:

-Quality tint
-Shift knob (Billetproshop)
-Debadged "FRS" and painted emblems
-K&N drop-in Filter
-Weathertech floormats (love these, so easy to clean)

For a little under $500, you could pick up the new LED Side Markers, Front Signal Housings, and Reverse Light Bar from us ...as seen here

(Available in red, clear, or smoked black as seen above!)
