I have about $500. My original plan was to get a Black leather/Blackwood headrest monitors for about $450. I can't get these until February.

But if I pay $525, I can get these by next week. (not the point)

Basically, is the 450 worth it? I mean I have 2 little brothers (I'm 18) and we go on long trips and stuff and eventually want to get a xbox installed but.. Do you guys think I should get (4 neck pads for $100, JP table $275, Curtains $140?) instead?

 

first, i wish i had the 525 so dont stress about using it lol

second, it depends. I mean you dont have much other JP stuff on your car, and you'll get a lot more use out of 2 headrest monitors and putting an xbox in it for your brothers.

what about other stuff? srt intake, a used exhaust from the classifieds, springs or coilovers...it really comes down to what you want and what you will get the most use out of.

 

how about saving that money for future maintenance work?

 

Thanks for the suggestions. I got the K&N drop in filter and I'm on springs for now which I am satisfied. I'm going air maybe in april or may..

hm this is hard. Or maybe Tanabe medallion touring

 

or you could just pay for my new shocks & springs haha j/p.

i would say that you should just save up and wait. if you're not sure on what to get, might as well just wait.

 

people actually play games on those headrests?
wow, i'm too old for this...

imho, 525 doesnt really get you much nowadays...so, you should...
1) just give the 525 to me for xmas, or
2) ok ok ok, just keep saving and let that savings grow and grow! hhmmmmmm, suspension, wheels, kit?

 

haha. I'll worry about air later. I have wheels.

 

I would suggest some performance mods first, the Tanabe exhaust is a good start!

 

with the economy the way it is...its not worth putting it into your car right now...trust me..

 

i would just save up the money and buy something later

 

When I don't know what to buy, I save it and use it toward maintenance.

 

Between your two options I'd buy the headrest monitors.

 

Pick up one of the L-tuned exhausts in the classifieds and have the resonators removed. You might even have enough to buy some headers.

 

+1......... I'm not doing anything with my car until things get better .

 

Let's see a pic of your car to help give you other suggestions on what would be good for it. Between your options I'd go for the monitors if you've already got a screen in the front but personally there's alot of other stuff I'd do first.

I really like the looks of the Tanabe MT but I don't think I'd pay what they ask for it. Unless you're doing alot of other performance mods where you want a full catback, you can get a Magnaflow setup welded in that will look very similar in the $300 range. That's my first priority for my car. That'd leave you with $200 for something else.

A TTE lip is always a great choice, a 3-piece rear wing would be another good option if you like that style.
