What Would You Do With.....

WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH $2000. What would be the best way to spend $2000 on your acura tl. I have an extra two grand coming in and i was wondering what would be some good buying choices to make. Exhausts, suspension, intakes, and mods that would be easy. THANKS!

Depends. Are you looking for SHOW or GO?

SHOW
springs
18" wheel/tire combo


GO
Cold Air Intake
Headers
Exhaust

Since you are in MN and the winter is coming, I would say sways, upper strut, and headers. When the spring comes, wheels and tires... maybe the mystery mod too.

I think a whole bunch of mods is better than one expensive mod. So:

$200 - CAI
$400 - springs + install
$600 - exhaust
$400 - sways + install
$300 - 2002 tails
====
$1900 +/- $100

Or you can blow it one expensive hooker or several cheaper ones.

Not to speak for bartleby but I don't think dropping it is feasible in MN. I personally think the exhaust is more of a cosmetic mod than performance.

I agree. If you get rims/tires now, the MN snow will eat it alive!

BTW, what year is your TL?

Rims man! RIMS!

Or you can go audio/video... talk to ron@streeteffectz.com and check out http://www.streeteffectz.com... you could get a PS2 and 6.4" TVs in your sun visors!

Or go intake/header/exhaust.

Well, I personally think so too, hence I bought tips from Tim. What's your point? I just gave him a list that he doesn't have to follow. I'm just saying, spend the money on a bunch of cheaper mods is better than one big expensive one, like rims. (not that I'm saying rims aren't bad). And what's wrong with cosmetics? Our cars aren't race cars. I gave him a good mixture of cosmetic and functional mods.
