Default Best mod for ~$200 or less?

Lets hear your opinions... I'm at a loss. Here are my current mods:

Performance:
JWT Popcharger, Crawford v5 manifold, Kinetix hi-flow cats, Fujitsubo Y-Pipe, U/R Crank Pulley

Handling:
Eibach Sways, Toyo Tires, Crawford Strut Bar

Interior:
Leather Trim Ltd Seats, LTD shift boot, nismo shift ****

Stereo:
Complete, don't need anything

Accessories:
Front Z Badge, tint, LED sidemarkers, LED license and parking lights


Roads are bad so I can NOT lower the car and don't want to add any body parts. Any help would be great... thanks.

The only possibility that I can think of is a rear sway bar. But other than that, you are pretty much modded out. You're car is sick and i personally dont think much more can be done for little money.

I'd pass on the $200, save up $600 or $900 and swap out the exhaust. Guess you'd have to get rid of the y-pipe. I'd also consider a cheap grounding kit for $75 or less. And, I'd consider the Technosquare or wait for the JWT. You're pretty much otherwise done in terms of bang for the buck mods.

You could've gotten ceramic DC Sports headers while they lasted at around $240...but since you didn't, I'd go with an Xbox ($150, but price is supposedly going to be $100 in fall) and a cheap 6.5" screen used for $100.

Edit: And if you can't spare an extra $50, you shouldn't be spending $200 in the first place
