What to spend $1000 on?
 
So I'm awaiting my $1000 cheque from Scion Canada from the student loan discount, and I'm not quite sure what exactly what I want to spend it on.
I mean, I have general ideas, but I haven't really looked into pricing or which vendors or manufacturers or prices yet.

Pretty much everything I get will be purely for cosmetic reasons, and not performance related.

Wish-list:
1. LED DRL's
2. Switchbacks OR the Vicious LED turn signal housing replacements (http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=43245)
3. Tail lights (about 95% sure it's going to be the Buddy Club's. Please don't hate. :wub:)
4. HID kit
5. Rear diffuser (cheap eBay replica most likely)
6. Remaining LED's (trunk light, license plate, interior, etc.)

This is just a wish list, and I doubt all of this would fit within the $1000, which is exactly where I'd like to keep it (don't really have any EXTRA spending money at the moment), but what do you guys recommend in terms of vendors, manufacturers. Personal experience with any products from the wish list would be great, or if you have any suggestions for what other cosmetic upgrades I could get would great as well. Thanks. :thumbup:

this should all be under a grand.
though the diffuser looks a bit odd with the stock tips that don't fit the cut outs

I have the much bigger and better looking TRD Exhaust, so I think it'll look great.

This is my car currently. Feel free to suggest something that might go well with the specific colour too.

Loving your wish list! :thumbsup:

Let us know when you're ready to spend that cash-back check, we will definitely take care of you!! We'd definitely recommend our LED front turn signal housings, paired with either the Buddy Club tails or TOM's tails (personally I like the Buddy Club's ALOT!) and then pair them up with the rest of our LED bulbs!

Cheers bud :D

If you are a student, does your name have to be under the car for a check?

I've had my car for about 10 weeks now. Far beyond being broken in now haha. I've already put almost 5000 km's on it.

I'm pretty sure you do. They were getting fussy about even letting my mom be a co-owner of the car, so I assume at least your name HAS to be on there.

No tracks anywhere near here. The only one we had closed down and the new one being built won't be open for a few years. Plus I'm only looking for cosmetic upgrades. :)
