Default What to do with $350????

I have $350 to spend on my car and i dont know what to spend it on. I want to buy a lid for sure or get my windows tinted. Or should i just save it so later on i can buy a lot of stuff all at once.

Or my other option is to buy some DR's.

Should i go appearance or performance first?

Lid $50-$70 used, cutout $30 + $30 install, shifter $149.99 = $280 with 70 bucks left over to buy a short stick $20-30, and you now have $50 left over for gas after you romp the **** outta the car with the new feel and sound

Heh, if I would have read your sig. I would have known that I'd still get a cut-out with that lid. A lid and cut-out will yield great results on any ls1 car.

Edit- Check out this post that was just recently posted as it will confirm what I was saying as far as a nice power gain from those two mods(of course not all cars are the same) https://ls1tech.com/forums/dynamometer-results-comparisons/553402-just-dyno-ed-less-than-300-dollars-power-mods.html

Catbacks are more for sound than anything. Why waste that money when you can get a cutout for 30 bucks and do other necessary mods that are more cost effective?
