I'd start off with a cold air intake and some headers if I were you. That's the cheapest route to go for some extra ponies without breaking yer wallet. You can probably make yer own intake and save a few bucks. I don't really know what kind of parts they got for that particular car. If money is not an issue I'd go with something big like a turbo or supercharger if they make any for your car.

You can also try to see if they got some kind of chip or maybe some throttle body spacers. Throttle body spacers increase hp and get you better gas mileage for about $100 and install in about 30 min. behind your throttle body.



just a couple more suggestions.

Oh also, dash pieces too, you might be able to paint them if they are removable without breakable force. I have a boring 02 dodge stratus, but i painted some of the trim white to match the exterior.

Thanks man. That's some auto paint u can get at walmart or Autozone ( 2x the price). U can get it in the small cans for 2.88 / can and they got all colors with or without flakes. Make sure u put some clear coates over ur paint too, and naw shit stays perfectly in tact. Plastic pieces gotta be sanded too. Total cost on that was under $20 and about 2 hours.

That's sick....Mine is Oxford White with the stock bullit rims. I have flowmasters also. I'd like to do a bunch of other shit to it, but I don't have the bread right now. I think I'm going to just keep it fairly stock and take good care of it and upgrade to a Cobra after I graduate. You have any pics of your ride? I'd like to see what you're talking about with the decal under the scoop....Good shit homie....
