    Quick, Dirty, and Cheap

    Ok, so starting from scratch, Top Ten Mods from a stock 3rd gen vehicle, preferably for a grand or less.

    Go.

    headers, intake, coilovers, revalved bilstiens... that's around $1000, maybe a bit more

    maybe if you don't want so much performance, hit up some custom sway bars as opposed to the headers

    personally...

    My personal emphasis is performance, THEN looks.

    Nothing annoys me more then a set of awesome rims, body kit, the works outside, but then they run completely stock. What's the point in dressing up nothing?

    It's like buying the ugliest girl in school a 2000 dollar prom dress. She may get the job done, but she's not gonna look nearly as good as the homecoming queen in a 100 dress.


    What a weird analogy.....

    oh, and the suspension stuff isn't for looks... it's for performance... just not really for straight-line speed
