Painting your brake calipers red gives an extra 25 HP to the front wheels.

I call dibs on floor mats!

Sarcasm aside I would get a drop in filter (~40-70 bucks); does the same thing as an intake essentially.

HIDs for your car (ddmtuning.com sells a kit for ~35 bucks, don't need error corrector or extra harness addons)

Lose weight. It saves you money and makes the car faster.

DarkCard · 05-10-2013, 06:54 PM

this is a stupid question. If you get into modifying a car its gonna be a money pit anyway you look into it. If you worried about saving cash find another hobby.

Not trying to be a douche... just saying.

Just about any mod you do is going to be inefficient on a cost basis so just have at it!

LOL this reminds me of the episode on the simpsons where the car was glued with sea shells from the kids at the beach:

AP Racing / Essex Sprint brakes use more affordable pads, so they pay for themselves over the life of the car if you're tracking it.

KW v3 colovers are affordably rebuildable and valving is customizable when rebuilding, so again, over the life of the car it's more affordable than just doing springs and shocks.

So there are two high quality parts that are cost effective for some people.
