Help me choose my next mod

[Subghetto]

Well since my birthday is coming up soon, I will hopefully be getting some cash flow around $300-$350 hopefully. I was wondering what I should do next. I made this poll to see what I should spend the money on. If you have any other suggestions please share them I really want to get something worthwhile.

Damn it I thought that was for all 4 I mean I can throw down extra cash but $480 each ! s*** I guess there goes the rims I want. I hope that I can find them cheaper, since these are the only rims I want. I've searched over a year now looking for the perfect rims that I like and now this is what happened------>(nuts)

LOL your wrong I can buy 1 rim (rlaugh)

http://www.rimstop.com/WheelDetail2.asp?Link=1240

they have them for $338 per wheel but if you help me out stealth then I can get all 4 (wink) but in all seriousness are there any vendors here in the forums that could get me a deal on these velox rims ????

 

[Protege5Gurly]

Velox r $$$ ... go to wheelmax and look at EXEL wheels -- my 18s with tires were 900 shipped

[JOS3]

get some wheels and lower your car. wheels make a huge difference from an appearance standpoint.

Yeah I want performance but I want to stay N/A for now, then go FI later. So far for performance I have:

Injen CAI
HKS axle-back exhaust
Unorthodox Racing Undrive crank pulley
S.S. Wanger Shorty Header


Next:

DSM #5 and #6 pipe to finish up the cat back section of the exhaust and replace the mid-pipe.

I might go performance any suggestions on what I should get that's not over like $600 I was thinking of the Essential Speed IM but so far I've read horrors on their customer service so I don't want to get screwed out of my money.
Yeah performance mods are one of the first things I concentrated on when I bought the car.

 

[Bass Addict]

I'd got with the Eibach Pro-kit and Tockico setup as well.

 

[Subghetto]

I was also thinking about the erebuni sides the ones that look like the mintblue ones anyone know how much both sideskirts are?? Or have them and can comment on how they are different from the JDM mintblue sides???

 

[Protege5Gurly]

They are essentially the same -- except for quality. However, unless you have a front lip, they will look very much out of place since they sit alot lower than the stock skirts. Plus you will have to spend a nice chunk of change to get them to fit TIGHT to the body -- plus the paint

Protege5Gurly did you mold your sideskirts in?? Yeah I plan to get the autoexe lip and maybe either the BC 2 rear or mintblue rear the other one not the one you have if I get these sides.
