question, sry im new to all this. how long can a exhaust last? does it have to be like re-tuned every year or something?

A quality exhaust should last forever. No tuning required.

The very first thing you do is tint!

Still teaching myself to drive manual, but I am thinking of getting new seats, some nice two-tone black and blue suede.

I have roughly $30,000 for modifications.

My list so far
-Intake+Exhaust for sound
-Tinted windows, as low as legally possible.
-$2,000-$3,000 sound system, depending on what I need to spend to achieve ridiculousness.
-Dark Black Rims
-Custom Gauges/Colors
-Possibly change the headlights/tailights

Quality body shops and custom car shops are hard to find my area, and Nismodreamr, I live in Nebraska and spend a LOT of time in Iowa for business. Me and my uncle started a business custom building computers and selling parts/installing them to people, and we are doing pretty well, but this is mostly a loan from my buddy.

I hope theres a typo in there somewhere. You're buying or have already bought a $30k car and are taking out a loan (from a friend at that) for $30k for mods? BTW, all the mods you just listed could be done for ~$10k and thats if you go pretty high end on rims and tires.

Wheels and tint is probably what I will do first. :happydance:

I see well best of luck, not sure where you would put 30k in this car without pulling the motor, building internals, and then promptly boosting the bitch. Just my .02

Its a loan from a friend, theres no interest or anything involved.

And I said up to 30k :P

I plan on putting some real nice interior work into it. I'll put up pics when its done ^_^

Would it be reasonable to put twin turbo in the bitch?

If I had 30k I would look into a turbo set up. Instead I spent my money on a set of volks, an aerojacket lip kit, coilovers, and an exhaust.

What would you do with the other 20k or So?! Haha :roflpuke2:

That was my point, he is talking about spending money that Im not sure you could even spend without lining the engine bay in hundreds. And the parts listed up above were what I bought, I have spent right around 8-9k.
