Any Upgrades that don't break the bank

occarclub · 09-10-2014, 03:06 PM

Hello! Are there any upgrades out there that show a noticable difference that don't cost an arm and a leg? I love upgrading and all but paying money for things that don't do to much really sucks

Thanks!

Define break the bank, over 1/2/3k?
Also, show a noticeable difference, is this performance or looks?

Well, I'm leaning tawrds a mixture of both. Meaning I am going to be do the obvious "look" upgrades such as black door handles, window tint, darken the boot lights a little, interior LEDs, and a few decals for added horsepower (;

As far as performance goes, I am definitely getting some lowering springs (I'm thinking Tein or Swift; not sure yet) anddddddddddd thats about all I know I'm forsure getting

Thats what I'm hoping this thread will help me with. And to answer your original question, I have about 1,500 to spend on performance and 500 to spend on looks (My parents are already buying me an Amuse Body Kit so I won't need to spend too much on looks). Sorry for the long response, I can be quite wordy at times lol.

We actually talk about how to manage them in the workplace. Parents are always involved or meddle in.

Me, the only thing I got from my parents were lots of guidance, a college degree, great advice, asthma, hypertension, and bunions.

Im buying the car with my own money and as a gift my parents are buying me a body kit. So I told em' I wanted an Amuse Kit

I am 16 by the way which is why my parents are still involved in my life. Cars being a big part of it.

Define 'arm and leg'. Nothing that you can do and will feel is cheap.

You can do the exhaust washer mod. Purposely create an exhaust leak to get a deeper sounding exhaust note. But in all seriousness, all upgrades are expensive.

My love for Mighty Car Mods aside, I refuse to buy that! I can't imagine rolling into a car meet with that

I'd have to lock the engine bay to make sure noone goes snooping for the supposed "turbo" that some would believe I possesed. Thanks for time spent responding to the thread though! I will admit you got me to rewatch all their videos again

I would rather just straight pipe than do that.
