Default Tax returnZ!

Should be getting a fat little 800$ check for my tax returns, and therefore i will probably use like 6$ on a sandwich for me and the rest on my 08 base.
Only current mods are nismo carbon fiber shift ****, limo tints, and orange led lights in the AC vents. So pretty stock obv

1- What would you guys get?
2- Very interested in headlight taillight tints, any do/do-nots on those?
3- Carbon fiber rear diffuser or carbon fiber dash kit?

Thanks

To me all those are kinda meh. Not much gain off the intake for the price, might be illegal (ca is of course) and the HL tints are one of those things you wonder why you did later on. Ive also seen housings ruined due to botched install.

Id get new tires, best mod for any car.

Depends on your wheel size, which will determine what will fit within your budget. Stock sized KDWs, which I love, should run you about 800 after install, at the most.

If you don't mind the stock LSD, swap your final drive to 3.9 or 4.08.

yeah i got new set of michelins sport a/c plus on my return,tires are always a good thing untill you decide for sure what mods you want in future run you about 1050,look around cause i seen the same set for 1300 at sears which is a rip off and make sure its a family owned tire business and always read feedback at a place you going to,1 thing is buy them and another let the right people put em on so they wont fall off on the way home or your pressure sensors go off

Spacers and a set of ARK drop springs, they will help the looks, not ricy, and improve the handling.

i would not suggest tinting any of your lights. hold off on the cf rear diffuser and cf dash kit till you have more pieces to match it with; it looks odd when it's mismatching. focus on some bolt ons or suspension mods with that money.
