Not to mention that I have a friend who (at the same time) put a deposit down on the same car. Damn is it going to be fun having an identical canyon buddy > 
Let me start by saying that this is going to be a car I have for a long time, and one that I do plan to learn to work on (and mod heavily)
Looking forward to what you all have to say and to learn more from you! |
First off congrats.
I'm also 19 yo and I no longer owe anything on my brz.
For someone your age I suggest saving that money for the first car payments and insurance.
But for 2k, best bang for the buck would be
Option 1 performance :
Openflash tablet : $500
K&n air intake : $50
Transmission fluid : $50 I recommend redline or motul
Wheels: $ 500+ go for xxr if you want cheap and looks
Tires : $500+ make sure you haggle when buy tires. Vulcantires, tire discounter etc have decent pricing.
Total: $1600 with an extra $400 wiggle room for Tires and wheels.
Options 2 looks:
Tint $200-300
Sti (Ts) replica bodykit $300 best looking imo.
Roof wrap $100
Wheels+tires: $800+
Tailights: valenti: $300 buddy club: $500 Toms : $400? Spyder:$300
Total $1700 with lowest price items.
Mix or match however you want.
Exhausts: $500+ go for invidia if you want cheap and good sounding ($500+ shipping) there's a whole thread on exhaust. Just search on google.
E85 mod $700
Head unit : $300+. I recommend an android headunit. Most are only $300. Make sure it's a quad core with 1gb or more ram.
Opticoat: N/A great for your paint.
Clear bra : $200+ got mine for $150
Coilover : $700+ there's a tein coilover that sells for 650 I believe .
Lowering springs : $200+ go for trd or rce yellows.
(Go coilover if it fit your budget)
Led lights conversion : $ 60 at most. Don't cheap out on leds.
*There are a ton of more stuff that you can do to the car but don't dump all your income onto your car!! Sorry for saying this but car hobby is a very expensive hobby and I had to learned the hard way. If your going to school then please focus your income on your studies first.
**DIY is always cheap than paying someone but don't do anything that you don't know how. Just because it look easy in the video doesn't mean it's easy in reality.
*** This is solely my opinion but I'm just listing things off to help you go on with your modding hobby.
Always be safe and enjoy your new car!
