What to spend $1000 on?

[boxer 2.5]

I don't want to be a downer, but I say you throw 500 of it either in savings or towards the car loan but Mods are always fun

I see ......

Some little things you may consider:

* an armrest
* wheel locks
* mud flaps
* shark fin antennae
* trunk lid liner (pad)
* In dash GPS/radio
* GoPro camera

Just go have fun!

I may be the odd one out, but I don't want an armrest there. I like the open look.

Car came with wheel locks

Car came with mud flaps

The shark fin I want is the Modelista one which is about $300, so not yet haha

My rear seats are always up, and I rarely see the inside of the trunk, so the trunk liner, even though it's cheap, isn't a priority at the moment.

Already have a touchscreen headunit. Don't wan't as they get outdated quickly. I prefer using my Android since it's updated daily.

Not really big on recording videos either.

Good suggestions though. Thanks!

Not cosmetic.
Plus, I'm not even thinking of getting an oil cooler until I go FI when TRD releases their supercharger someday.

id say get 4.55 FD gears and switch backs and remaining leds(helped a friend with this you can get all of them for under 30)

Only thing I'd suggest (although it's all in that one Viscous thread anyway) are side markers and tail light bar. I personally hate the orange sidemarkers. Buddy club will surely catch the eye and an aftermarket tail strip may compliment it nicely, I haven't seen many Buddy club installs yet so no idea how they'd look together though. just my .02, car looks great with that exhaust though

Call me a curmudgeon but I'd pay it back towards the loan or throw it in savings if I was still a student. :happy0180:

Over pipe, mid pipe and a tune! Or clear sidemarkers, frameless rearview mirror and some JPM Coachworks bits

The single best performance and safety improvement available at any price, proper all-season performance tires. 225/45 will fit OEM wheels while improving grip in all areas (handling, braking, acceleration) and help cosmetics by filling out the wheel wells a bit. Then you'll want the mud flaps to save the paint from the increased spray. All of that should be under $1K installed.

If you're still a student, save it for a rainy day. I splurged when I bought my mods but it set me back quite a ways.

Can't really tell in the pic but maybe some tinted windows? Not for everybody but they make a difference. A few cosmetic mods go a long way and somehow makes it more enjoyable having your personal tweaks on there

I know you said you aren't looking for performance increases, but I would take a look at running koni shocks and some lowering springs. It will give you a lower stance (good for you) and also give you a performance boost (which is why I did it)

This is my first winter so I'm probably not going to lower it yet until I know how it is in the snow here in Canada at stock height, so lowering springs will be next summer, and probably only TRD, so the shocks will be covered.

Honestly, I'm very happy with the interior. This is my first car, and I drove my mom's 08 Civic before that so this is MILES better. Nothing to complain about enough for me to want to change out interior bits...yet.
