Want some opinions...

[swedensky]

Ok I have some extra dough and a list of parts and I'm wondering what would be the next purchase. To start, I don't want to do anything with a major performance increase, I don't want to tune and I want to stay CA carb legal. Long story short my job is currently on the line for my driving record and I don't need anything that will encourage me to drive faster...I'm trying really hard to be responsible (maybe a little late) but it's my choice. So here are all the things I have on my list (obviously some are much more expensive and I won't necessarily be buying these things brand new if I can find good deals local or on forums).

This is my DD, about 1200 miles per month. I'm very much into aesthetics and sound over performance and speed..
Current mods are Airaid, catback, mgw, ProKit and aesthetics.



Roush Rear Splitters
Roush Side Splitters
Stillen Front Splitter (w/ turnbuckles)

Roush Lower Grille Delete (I have homemade upper Grille delete retaining fogs)

BMR Subframe Connectors
BMR Lower Control Arms
BMR LCA Relocation Brackets
(other suspension that will be good to have in long run?)

Coilovers (set of R1s near me for $850 OBO)

BBK Varitunes Axlebacks (currently have a Borla Atak 3" Catback)
Boss MidPipe w/ Sidepipes (kind of already have this being held pending my payment)

Raxiom GPS

Sound System (totally foreign to me)

GT500 Steering Wheel (already have both alcantara boots)

Pop Out Quarter Windows

Raxiom Foglight Halos

LITTLE MORE EXPENSIVE
Recaros (~2k)
AG M550 Wheels (~2500 w/ tires)
---selling my wheels after would be easier---

This has to be a fucking troll thread.

haha like I said, I'm trying to be responsible until September when my point drops off my record. I had a TVS on the list but that will have to wait. I started with a 2000 GT so the jump to a 13 is enough for now. I still go to the track (only ran a 13.2) but I don't see you being an ass in Paul's "build" thread where all he has done so far is interior/exterior mods. Just asking for opinions.

If you don't want to "chit-chat" about it you're welcome to talk about Brembo socks with Darren instead.

(sorry Darren just a good example haha)

responsible.... put your money here:

I doubled my savings with what I put in this month =D I paid all my bills for next month, and I had some play money.

I'll just choose Nevermind

Put your money in a savings account, and enjoy your car the way it is. Then when your license is clean enough to stop being a pussy, go earn you some more tickets.

This forum IS getting soft. I remember when someone posting:

..would've gotten roasted alive here.

 

[HitandRunDriver]

Just a bit of ribbing on you man, no worries. You could invest in detailing equipment if you haven't already done so

 

[GallopingFord]

Tyler, I like you so I won't join in on the bashing. Lol

My opinion highlighted in Red next to each item

Roush Rear Splitters - sure (personally not a fan on the 13/14)
Roush Side Splitters - sure
Stillen Front Splitter (w/ turnbuckles) - meh

Roush Lower Grille Delete (I have homemade upper Grille delete retaining fogs) - meh

BMR Subframe Connectors - no, because you don't need them for your application
BMR Lower Control Arms - sure
BMR LCA Relocation Brackets - sure
(other suspension that will be good to have in long run?)

Coilovers (set of R1s near me for $850 OBO) - you want to go lower, sure

BBK Varitunes Axlebacks (currently have a Borla Atak 3" Catback)
Boss MidPipe w/ Sidepipes (kind of already have this being held pending my payment) - sure

Raxiom GPS - no, it's just a waste of money imo

Sound System (totally foreign to me) - sure (I don't care for sound systems, but if you are a audiophile, understandable)

GT500 Steering Wheel (already have both alcantara boots) - yes, feels much better than the base wheel

Pop Out Quarter Windows - no, this isn't a e-series van Lol and I've seen them leak

Raxiom Foglight Halos - if you like that sorta thing

LITTLE MORE EXPENSIVE
Recaros (~2k) - if you came across a deal, sure
AG M550 Wheels (~2500 w/ tires) - pft, ya!
---selling my wheels after would be easier---

Side note, what driving record problems do you have?

yea, maybe a bit...

I think pink racing stripes would look HOT. And those Hello Kitty muffler tips.

 

[swedensky]

thanks for sparing me cam haha

Our insurance policy only allows one "point" and one moving violation if you're under 25. I currently have one point (speeding ticket year and a half ago) but two moving violations (that and a carpool lane ticket [i was speeding but he gave me carpool to save me from a point]). That was also over a year ago...

 

[stkjock]

did you take a DDC?
