What to buy?

I managed to get my hands on $200 for FT86SpeedFactory and don't really know what to get. I bought 2 oil filters for oil changes in the future and an aftermarket air filter.

I currently have exhaust done front to back, lowered, wheels and tune. What should I buy with the remaining $138.29? What would you buy?

If it doesn't expire hold onto it until you actually want/need something. What is the hurry to find something to spend it on?

Can you get those through FT86SpeedFactory? Would make explaining my credit card bills to the wife far easier.

Hood struts. Really one of the best inexpensive mods.

Or save it... Good advice too.



For $130 and change, I think it's Hookers OR blow... LOL

Mud flaps! Saves your paint and looks great. That and spend the rest on a aluminum reverse lockout.

What I would personally put on my car:
SPC camber bolts (+ alignment)
Rear subframe inserts
A set of Stoptech or TRD brake pads for DD

For funs:
JDM kneepads
Arm rest
TRD Door stabilizers if you don't mind spending money for the lulz

Front strut bar. Significant improvement in ride quality for about what you have left on the card. They're easy to install too. If not that, hood struts.
