I just found 300 bucks in an old bank account and i'm thinking about spending on the tl. I was thinking an in dash dvd player. Anyone wanna give me ideas?

 

what r u looking for power? looks? luxury? id get a crank pulley, or headers

 

In that price range you could get something like the Kenwood DDX512 or the Pioneer AVH-4000DVD from sonicelectronix.com

 

get another 100 and get a v1 detector. :P

 

Donate it too me..

 

^ Exactly!

 

do a buncha tidbit mods, it'll make you feel a lot better than a big one.

 

^ quantity not not quality. just like my women!

 

 

but in all seriousness based off the mods in your sig; i'd get some springs.

no one ever regrets lowering their car. and it should be the first thing you do.

 

^^ Thats a great idea! Get some H&R Sport Springs model #50103. Or if you want to go even lower, H&R Race springs.

 

I'm kind of hesitant to go low cuz of the roads around my area and up until recently all these potholes around the Chicago area that look like they wont be fixed for a while. Also, there is always, and I mean ALWAYS, construction going on somewhere in the Chicagoland area and the roads are always fcuked up and uneven, I remember 88 was at a point where you would be driving sideways cuz one side of the lane was lower than the other. All those reasons discourage me from getting slammed....plus my driveway is at a slight incline.

 

Must be nice to randomly find $300 in an "old" bank account...

I'd agree on a nice radar detector. You have simple visual mods... springs, meh.

 

It was an account my parents set up for my when i was a kid and i came to know about it now.

BTW I already have a pretty decent Cobra.

 

Lowering springs won't drop you enough to worry about construction or pot holes.

Lowering will make your car more enjoyable and sporty to drive....that's what I hear from everybody!

Our cars in stock form have a pretty high center of gravity and some lowering springs will help you offset that a bit.

I would go with that if I had an extra $300 and were not lowered in any way....2nd choice would be an aftermarket alarm.

 

On OEM shocks, the spring are just for looks. The ride will be bouncy -- rebound stinks.

 

^ That's true.

I was at a meet earlier and chatting with some other 2nd Gen CL owners and they are running stock shocks with aftermarket spring...they like it.

Personal preference I guess but I hear what you are saying.

 

you can't get a nice a in-dash unit for $300..

buy tint or an intake..

 

a nice alarm will be good

 

+ remote start = win!

Perfect way to spend it!

 

^ agreed!

 

from wat i've heard and seen alarms + remote starts look to run 400+ including installation lemme know if you guys come across anything cheaper.

 

Oh...yeah that would probably not include professional installation. (for a good alarm with more features)

Sometimes they hook you up on the price of the alarm if you get the labor done there.

Better start making some friends at the stereo shop!

 

You dont have to be slammed bro, even though I think every TL should be lol, but in your case, bring it down alittle......to give it a more sporty stance, you wont regret it

 

$360 can get you UA5 visor's, front "H" grill, and the rear "H" emblem.

or buy the visor's, and have $120ish left to spend
