which mod would you do between $100-$150 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

BlueDubbinTDI · 10-29-2013, 03:56 PM

I have a Greddy SP Elite on its way so I'm really just looking for 1 more mod before the end of the year.

Would you get:
Plasti dip and new extended lugs for wheels
EBay front lip
Fog lights
Professional taillight red tint

Other suggestions will be definitely be considered but $100-$150 is pretty much it (I'm choosing a Christmas present from my wife for myself LOL)

clear side markers

Grimmspeed strut tower bar.

It sounds like this is a definite, eventual purchase so saving money is a lame suggestion...

- Plasti dipping your wheels with around 4-6 coats will only cost you around $20-25.
- If you wanted to do a badge swap, FT86SpeedFactory is selling Toyota badges for $40
- Drop-in air filters are around $40
- Blox colored shift knobs are around $40
- Hella Supertone Horn Kit around $60

Anyways, just some general options. I think going for smaller, less priced items will give you more than one gift for a maximum of $150. So you can combine quite a few things till you hit that limit. Just my thoughts. good luck.

i dont see why you need extended lugs for your oem wheels, ebay front lip... it's definitely not worth your money. if it really came down to it and had to buy something i'd go for the fog lights and DIY the tails and wheels

OICU812 · 10-29-2013, 04:45 PM

Under or near 100 bones... in no order but what could be considered

- MTEC Tranny springs
- JDM Clear side markers
- JPM interior goodies, (if you like that stuff)
- WL Cross Member bushings
- Grimspeed strut tower bar
- Raceseng crank pully, or Perrin etc...

just some off the head for now.

Interior/exterior leds

BlueDubbinTDI · 10-29-2013, 05:32 PM

really just looking for cheapish exterior cosmetic right now. Going wheels and suspension next year then hopefully 2015 will have developed all the performance I could imagine for this platform. Really just stock piling smaller things until the 2015 arrives. If it can swap aftermarket parts over and its more powerful, Im going to get it. If not, then im going to get whatever the best valued SC has been developed up to that time for this 1. Pretty much that simple.

peri.Laynz · 10-29-2013, 06:21 PM

You could cancel the shipment on the SP Elite and put the extra money towards an Evo3. A much better system.

Lverasky · 10-29-2013, 06:40 PM

Plasti dip the stock wheel, and get a new set of lug nut. good deal for $150 doing both at the same time.

I got my plasti dip at dipyourcar.com and go the lug nut at ebay.
