$2000? Maybe do something to the interior, like some new seats, upgrade the factory speakers, or add another touchscreen in the cubby and hook up a disk changer somewhere in the rear storage units...

I would buy hookers to dance on your car. You have a few options here.

If you get cheap ones, you can get allot of them for the money, but.. they may not be that hot.

If you get hot ones, then you'll only have a few.

Alberto's absolutely right about the coilovers. Also get some of those, sway bars, end links, and camber kits. If you shop smart, you can get all that for under 2k. Handling is addictive.

a turbonator so you can blow the doors off every rsx you may encounter. dont forget to plaster your car with Vtec SOHC stickers and TRD stickers to let everyone know you mean business.

Arthur at CT2 has the Wilwood kits CHEAP! check out my myspace pics www.myspace.com/villainous350z to see the setup.

If you want to race it around or take it to tracks... start there and some exhaust, intake and spacer. If not go with some nice wheels and sound mods.

On second thought, I'd like that "hooker" mod that somebody suggested a few posts back. Girls with low self-esteem and Daddy issues FTMFW

Mr_X did the install, I helped with removal one of the springs.

If you sell your springs, you could maybe get some sways bars also.
