save a little more and go for performance or suspension.... wheels are nice but with tires they get expensive. with $400 u could lower the car or put some sway bars on. or even buy a basic nitrous kit and add parts to it when u get the money. anyway, anything u do to the car will make u like it more and more so its up to u. good luck deciding

Are you currently stock? If so you should definately do some HP instead of looks. I always thinks its better to look stock and be fast than to look fast and be stock slow. You could almost do gears for $400. I think my vote would be to get the exhaust and intake as free flowing for as cheap as possible if future money is tight as well. Look at the for sale sections and ebay for some cheap parts in the cold-air or elbow department, and definately a cat-back probably.

I love gears...but unless you are suffering the 2.73 death...I'd work on that exhaust side. Power and sound!

Take a look on the door sticker....Look for the codes... GU5 or GU2 ... If its a GU5 it has 3.23 gears... GU2 Means 2.73s.

If you already have a CAI I wouldnt spend more money on a different one. They all are pretty much the same gains. If it turns out you have 2.73s I would try to flip for the gears as soon as you can. I went 4.10s....most will advise you to do no more that 3.73s. I agree 3.73s if you do much highway. I push almost 3,000rpm at 70 with the 4.10s. But man is it fun on the street.
