Best mods to buy with $3,000 on my bone stock 2010 TL SH-AWD 6MT (CBP)
Hey guys noobie here. So I bought a 2010 TL SH-AWD 6MT in CBP about a year ago and kept it bone stock. Now I'm itching for some mods after saving up some $$ of course. So my question to anyone/everyone is what would be the best and most efficient way to spend $3k? Also, i have a couple of scratches in the front left and right side of the bumper and rear left side as well from hit and runs... so I was looking into the RonJon 9 piece body kit? besides that I'm all ears to see what everyone thinks i should get with the left over $$? Thanks in advance for the replies and hearing me out!

What's your priority ?
Are you into the look, the sound, the handling, or the acceleration ?

haha very true, I guess I should've specified on what i was going for. So basically I would like a pretty all-around set-up. Looks, Sounds, and speed. for example things that i was thinking about in no apparent order are Wheels, Body Kit(like i've already mentioned), HID yellow fogs, intake, Exhaust, smoke out front and tail lights?
I know I definitely want that RonJon kit. So how much would i be expecting for the kit with the paint job and install? Also on the same note is it better to get the Ronjon kit already OEM painted or doing it at the shop that installs it after receiving the kit raw?

^sounds like you already know what you're doing.
purchase said items and go from there.
Edit*
You cant really ask us how much things are going to cost....well because we dont live in the same area.
so the cost of paint could vary.
you would have to get estimates from a paint shop..

i obviously understand that and i'm not saying i would do exactly as you guys say but just wanted to get some general opinions is all just to get an idea what people "would" do and "did" do when they first started off. but regardless thanks everyone for your inputs!

For handling wise, the very first thing to do is to swap out the crappy OEM tires. Go for some super high performance summer tires, and it'll make a big improvement in terms of handling performance.

what i would is: TINTS (160 in NJ, up to 400 we'll say around 230), ron jon grille and body kit. grille is 780, body kit is 1550. your up to 2560 right there. install for the body kit might just put you at or over ur 3k mark. but if you have cash left or extra, hit up JNC and get and get your headlights done. HID's for the fogs and DRL kit for the high beams. get the rear trunk trim painted aswell. thats what i would do personally.
but whatever you do, POST PICTURES OF IT.
i havent posted pics, cause im still stock.

Lee, if you're looking for aesthetics, wheels (RonJon) and roof spoiler are good options. For power, the J-pipe is a must!

I would be doing some performance upgrades if it were up to me. See the sticky in the Performance section....

For some people, the power is already good enough, so it all depends on if Lee wants performance mods or aesthetic mods.
Really????............
