I have $1000 for modifications.... Where do i begin...

Maintenance first maybe? If that's taken care of I'd put the money towards some coilovers. :)

Agreed, make sure all your maintenance is done .. With a 2003, you've probably got Inspection II coming up pretty soon.

After that, it depends on whether you want cosmetic or performance mods. For cosmetic, start with clear or smoked turn signals, side markers, and tail lights.. after that, maybe a different front bumper or a lip. For performance mods, there's not a significant amount of HP to be gained from this engine. Intake+Exhaust+Chip are about the only way to go.. otherwise, maybe some suspension modifications, especially if you don't have the sport package.

I dont know about anyone else, but when I say I have money to spend, that means that I am not worried about saving that money, putting it into maintainance, putting it towards something else, and i am not worried about any unexpected costs. I am simply saying that when I have money to spend, I have everything else accounted for, and I dont need people to tell me to save it or anything. I am asking for a recommendation, because I have the money to spend.

Not an attack on you guys personally, but I always get tired of posting a topic in OT, and having people tell me to save it or w/e.


About the mods.


I would personally start out with smoked/clear corners and sidemarkers (80 bucks), LED Taillights (300), and finish them with some umnitza P46's(625).

I am a big exterior modder. 1st looks, 2nd effect.
