I'm here to say drive it stock for awhile. Why? Because just incase you missed the other 15 people saying it above me.

Put $2k into the loan, potentially save yourself a couple hundred bucks on interest by paying it off early. Depending on your loan details and how you plan on paying it off you could easily save $500+ for tires by being patient with your modifications.
You know all those reviews about how awesome the car is and how it's the best drivers tool and yada yada yada? Those were all based on a stock car, it does it's job very well off the factory floor. |

Use the money to pay off the car first. It's a lot more money in the long run if you only pay the minimum per month.

I'm 19 too and when i first got my car i had huge intentions of modding it. Now that i have the car, i realized this car is so wonderfully made from the factory I barely want to mod it. So basic bolt ons for me

I'm 23 and just placed my order for a 2016 BRZ (AT) on September 2nd. The wait is killing me.
This will be my first new car coming straight from a '95 Accord EX. I plan on keeping it stock for a while and getting to know it before making changes. |

That really depends on financial situation and the apr of the loan. Some of these loans are so low that sitting with the loan making on time payments to make the credit score better is the better choice than paying off the loan faster.
I really do not get the rash of people buying cars and trading them in a year later. And this is happening with a ton of different vehicles with every car manufacturer. I just don't get it. |
