well this is good..
Look like I have more money than I thought I would to spend now on my car, I will have about $250-350 extra to spend, should I do:
A)6000k or 8000k HID Kit
B)Custom Single Exhaust system
C)Custom Downpipes
D)Tint + some extra goodies
E)other
Im leaning more towards the HID kit since Id rather wait till spring to do exhaust work, but im not sure if I can get a quality kit somewhere for around $300... and is HID really worth it???

only thing with tint is, I cant go past the illegal limit here (50%) because cops around here love to pull people over for tint, and I dont want to risk that, I was thiunking about a HID retrofit, but is it possible to do a inexpensive setup for around $300?

I think that there are some HID kits on ebay for like $329 or something like that. I think that the HID kit is the most pracitcal thing to do. Becuase not only will it be a hot mod, but itll make your car safer for you to drive cause of the better visibility. If you do go the way of HID would i be able to get your 5000k bulbs?? 
And seeing as how its winter time now, you can save the tint job for when you are goin to need it for warmer days. Im planning on getting mine tinted in the spring when the days start getting hotter.

Well, personally I would go with the HID kit...but as long as it's a good name brand one. Try to stay away from the cheapo Korean brands. They tend to have a lot less life from the bulbs. A good kit should last you 2500-3500 hours...

Ok well I decided, HIDs are out cause Id rather do several good things than one great thing. Ive decided on Tint, new rear and maybe new front speakers, and a new Headunit. This is all my combined money $500-600. I still will have left over money to paint the headlights and tails. Clear bumper lights, fog lightbulbs, corner light bulbs are on their way, I just finished my intake so thats all left to do.
Question: What size are the rear and front speakers on the TL, and can someone reccomend good brands for speakers?
