What would be your mod list if you had $1000 mod money?

Honestly, the stock midpipe is fine if you're staying 2.5". So, if you're trying to save money, an axleback makes much more sense. That is, unless the only exhaust whose note you like comes as a catback.

I'm on my phone so if I make mistakes, blame Sportsguy83

Such a personal question considering your interests could be in handling, power, sound, aesthetics. If you're not looking to break loose the rear end I'd put that $1000 into wider wheels (used), and new tires. A catback isn't going to give you any performance by itself. If you want more power look at getting new headers without a cat and then front pipe and catback (overpipe too). If you like how the car handles and moves but just want to make it look and sound better then get a catback, tint, and save up for some new wheels and tires. Tell us what your priority is and we can give you better feedback.

I'd do intake, tints, duckbill spoiler, used toms, axleback

Pads, lines, and fluid. Oil changes, gearbox fluid, and diff along the way. The rest on hpde and lapping days. Pretty much what I'm spending the next K on.

I would buy 1/10th of a turbo kit, exhaust and tune...

well since I already have about 1k in my car... I really care about getting the best tint that i could(see Texas summers). I don't want to do anything to change the characteristics of the car yet, just make it feel/look a little better. exhaust+tune is coming soon I want to see what PTuning does with their header before i make a choice there.

375 - Huper optic Tint
70 - clear side markers
115 - sharkfin
65 - front plate relocator
225 - short shifter + rear bushing
30 - transmission bushing
45 - transmission fluid

Threads like this remind me of how different people's priorities can be...

A "good" set of tires is going to run you almost 800 installed, 700 if you get a deal. I can't imagine doing anything else before getting this car the grip it needs. The stock HP's are scary enough without any added power.

for the balance of the grand I would add a reverse camera and get a JPMCoachworks alacantra binnacle lid - the reflection/glare in the windshield form the hard plastic stock one was very distracting to me.

The weathertech floor liners are nice also.

going to a bigger/wider wheel may actually slow you down and reduce acceleration - make sure you know what you are doing with wheel weight and distribution, rolling resistance, and final drive ratio effects (revs per mile).

A good set of PSS's will run you less than $700 installed. Less if you go with something less top-of-the-line than PSS's.

This is a great idea if you haven't had any car control training. I heartily endorse this product and/or service.

If you are familiar with car control, I'd be torn between a nice catback or swaybars + various bushings. I bet you could get both sways, rear subframe bushings, transmission bushing, and motor mounts for under a grand. My money would probably head that direction.

[SliverBrz]

OFH + OFT tune.

[suaveflooder]

Gears or a CF driveshaft.

Good list guys!
