Got $450 to spend, what should I buy?

Tint the windows. It adds privacy, cools the interior and looks great. Great 1'st Cosmetic mod!

The others suggestions on performance mods are good too.

My first mod to the car was to do a full detail on it and apply Opticoat to protect the paint. Then it went to get a full Xpel Ultimate treatment. If you do the detail job and OC application yourself, it's easily under $450. If not, OC application is usually around $300-350.

I am on the fence about the pulley... concerned about the dampening or lack thereof on the replacement part.

I guess I should have mentioned, the first two mods I did to the car were while it was still on the dealership lot, got window tints and clear bra installed.
I am trying not to be super OCD about the paint condition, this is going to be an everyday commuter car and will inevitably get scratched up and dirty, etc. I'm not the sort who washes the car every week.

Keep the great ideas coming!

Opticoat is meant for people like you who don't want to wash and wax the car on a routine basis. Just something to keep in mind.

here are my thoughts...

- Voodoo pearl shift knob
- Bluebat tail light overlays
- 5Axis spoiler + painting WR Blue
- some of those DC Sports tailpipe covers
- spacers for the wheels?

... or ...
a red dot sight for my rifle?

let me know if you have any good bang-for-the-buck mods to suggest...

Def Overlays !

Put 10% into savings, get the Bluebat overlays like I did ^, then the shift knob.

Depends on what you want the most. Most ppl say tune but for all I know you wanna leave the engine stock. I love the five axis spoiler personally

[chulooz]

Id say save some more and get real performance tires for the warm weather months and a mild alighnment while youre at it; who doesnt enjoy having great tires?

Skip all the above and get an axelback for $50 more.. Night and day difference from stock and the tips will fill your cutouts. Come out to the east bay for proof.
