First 500$ you would spend on your BRZ??
 

I just passed 3.5k miles on my DGM Limited 6spd BRZ. I would really like to do some simple mods to her. What, in anyone who reads this, would be the best way to spend that?

Well, not counting changing the fluids, my first mod was $40 K&N Drop-in Air Filter. Totally worth it, IMO.

My second mod will be an Open Flash Tablet. Before the Tablet came out, it would have been a Unichip. I believe the filter + tablet/chip would run about $500 total.

If you're looking for cosmetic mods instead, my suggestion would be to save up a little bit more and get new wheels + tires.

I got toms tail lights. Looks much better than stock, IMO.

Tint $220
Springs $240
I installed my springs. $0
Can of plasti dip $6
Painted wheels and center of bumper black. :thumbsup:

Rims...god I hate the stock rims.

Lowering springs and wheels spacers and perrins exhaust tips .

I already tinted. So general consensus is springs, drop in filter or just go with rims? I honestly don't have a problem with the rims atm. I have a pair of gram lights but they are for my old car so I would have to get the hub conversion for them.

Tires.

1. HPDE
2. HPDE
3. HPDE
4. Tires

clear side marker
k&n drop in filter
replace bulbs with LED
shark fin antenna
custom license plate

Don't really like the sharkfin look. Looking less for cosmetic and more for performance/handling honestly. I was thinking springs, drop in filter, front and rear strut tower braces.

Better tires would do more for you than springs I think.

What are looking to do with the car? If you're going to track it, maybe you'd want tires/suspension/brakes first before adding more power. If it's just a daily driver that you want to have fun with, you'd probably enjoy some extra power more, and a filter + tune would be the best bang for the buck on your budget in that regard.

Not really on a "budget" per se. I am looking for something fun that I drive daily, and can throw around corners. My last car was a 240sx with a SR20DET pushing about 400whp. So I feel that the car is a bit underpowered, while balanced and fun. But I don't think there is much that I can do to get rid of the obviously lacking power below 4.5k RPM. At least without voiding my warranty.

My Vote

Camber bolts
Whiteline rear subframe bushings
Drop in Air Filter
Extra money for the next mods

Thanks,
