Default $100 to spend on what?

Well got $100 burning a hole in my pocket, and was wondering what you guys think I should get
Tinted windows (gonna cost $120 and it will be 35% so I don't get some revenue enhancer hassling me)
Z06 style WS6 badges (I'd debadge the doors and put them above the fender vents)
Or something else

Do you have any tint now?

If not, that would be my vote.

i said other b/c i can't imagine a tint for $120 lasting very long. Also the Z06 type badges look at home on Z06's not a big fan of the ws.6 type. So I guess you could do sequentials, those are pretty sweet and are less than a $100. Or you could invest in some high quality detailing wax or something.

Guess I should say that I have the factory tint (what is that 70%)
I know the guy who does the tint, he's damn good, and uses high quality tint (one of his tint jobs has been on my IROC since 1989, and still looks good)

Buy some polished valve covers or save the money to help cover the speeding ticket that you'll recieve two weeks from now.

2-3 tanks of gas maybe? You got the N2O setup yet? Save for that.

I'd say to save a bit more up, but the tint would be a good idea. Tint helps the appearance of any car.

I paid about $110 to get my 20% taken off (because of a ticket) and 50% (legal) to get put on. It's good quality too. I guess it depends where you go.
Anyway, I would go with the tint.
