hey guys so i got a new part time job so im finally gona be able to spend a little cash on my car.. so what are some cheap mods i can do to my 02

dont have to be power mods


i figure i can save about 300 dollars a month maybe more....

i was thinkin chin spoiler and shorty antenna for starters

Wheels and a mild drop. Save up, you can get some nice 17's or 18's for about $1000 with tires, unless you shop around for some used sets, and a drop for maybe $250 more and it will really look nice. I got a set of Termi wheels with tires 17x9 and 17x10.5's with drag radials and almost new street fronts for $600. I have 4 sets of wheels and tires though lol

Here's mine, back in the day with nothing asthetically more than wheels, a drop, mach 1 chin, and billet grille. My wheels and tires were expensive, $1800 due to the $1200 tires, but you can find a good deal on some nice ones. I was getting complemented on it ALL the time.

yea it looked good.. i do want to lower my car

what would i need to do to lower it 2 inches all around beside the springs?

cc plates for sure but would i need shocks n struts too?

That pic of mine is with cut springs, about 1 1/2" drop. I'd recommend CC plates if you drop it anything over an inch, but you can supposedly go lower without requiring them. I'd recommend replacing the shocks and struts, espescially since you're most likely still on the ones that were put on the car at the factory, they're probably already on their way out the door. It's not necessary at the time of the drop, but it is recommended. It's gonna happen anyway lol

what do you havedonealready?

DONT LISTEN TO RYAN, HE DOESNT KNOW WHAT HES TALKING ABOUT AND WE ALL HATE HIM!!!


Just kidding, Im just so damn jelous of his car, its so SEXY!!!:D

As for the OP, rims (check craigslist, or ebay), and an exhaust first...they go from there.

Matthew

definately go with rims first first and i recommend saleens i have two sets they look amazing in my opinion.
-Lando-

would black cobra rims or saleens look good on my car as is?

thats how they would look on your car

Id agree with Ryan go with wheels first and then a Drop (eibach pro kit 1.5" drop) then maybe a dual catbcak exhaust or window tint

i already have tint

Good point! LOL sorry man

eh i think ima go with a shorty antenna for my first mod. the stock one is huge! lol
i dont wana do anything to ...drastic... this is my dd and my cruiser... dont race.

what was ur guy`s first mods??

exhaust

Cut your antenna insted of spending money on a new one. Intake spacer has nice gains for $100.

shorty antenna is 10 bucks just get it, then id go with a chin spoiler and definitely some new wheels

where can i get an intake spacer?
