Default If you had 1200 bucks..would you

Get:

Option 1
Stillen Rear wing, Nismo rear molded on, veilside V1 front lip

Option 2:
Utec+tune

Option 3:
Nismo R tune/Fujitsubo/Crawford headers

Option 4:
Tokiko D-spec Springs/shocks, Cusco swaybars

Option 5:
Springs, Stillen rear wing, lightwerks.net headlight mod (black bezel and 6000k bulbs, LED turn signals), blacked out rear lights, turn signals, front ambers.

I can't decide!
It'll all add up to around 1200. I've priced everything out.

Buy my blacked out HID's and Kinetix intake manifold! Look in the for sale section for pics of my HID's. No pics up of my Kinetix, but have them on my hard drive.

Who said i wouldn't guarantee? I've sold/traded plenty of them and have never had one bad experience. Anyway, i'd probably go with the UTEC anyhow.

You could probably get a 2 for 1 deal for that much.

Option 3 gonna cost you a fair bit more than 1200 bucks, man. Those headers alone are over a G shipped.

Sounds like you want th whole package for your car. You'll get it all eventually, so for now, prioritize and go from there.

If it were me, I'd do option 3 (tellin' you , you're gonna need more cash, though...), then option 2 (only if there are going to be no more option 3 type parts going in), then option 4, followed by option 1, and finally the little detail option 5 type stuff. Of course it won't work out that way, as you'll see good deals come along in the classifieds that you just can't pass up, you'll feel mod withdrawals between buying stuff and just have to get something else NOW, rack up a few grand on a credit card, but not care b/c you have everything you want on the car and you love it... until you see something ELSE you want. It's a disease.

Oh, you left rims off your option list. Better plan for those at some point as well...
