Yo guys I have got about 1000 bucks to drop into my MP3. Need some ideas. I already have a CAI, short shifter, spool springs, knob, HC pistons, turbo timer, guages and pod. I really want some WW fender flares, but I don't want to spend 500 on them alone. Let me know guys.
Cheers,
Moose

If you plan on going turbo, leave the HC pistons alone!

Buy some seats man. Preferably JIC Cross seats....or sparco's of course. If not seats, definately consider rims before you buy fender flares. Cool thing is that you already have springs so I say better rims. If you get 17's, you won't have to buy tires since you already have some mounted on you MP3 wheels.

Seats are very important in being able to drive your car well.

Yeah body kits are really money well spent though ... lol

Oh .. that was an April Fools comment right?

Body kits are rubbish and don't really do anything for the performance of the car. Seats will help you, different rims would be lighter than the stock ones so they would also help you. The wings west cf evo hood would look very out of place on a car that is completely stock looking aside it being lowered. The hood is meant to go with the full body kit. If you're going to get a CF hood, buy a stock shaped hood. as they tend to look a lot cleaner.

So I say:
A) Rims
B) Seats
C) Rotas & JIC Exhuast (a little over $1000)

Wait...you have a turbo timer but no turbo?

Invest the $1K in stocks, profit, buy a turbo w/ it.

if you want to get eh most out of that $1000 you could get the new seats, cross drilled and slotted rotors and eibach prokit all for under 1000 now that my friend is a great way to get the most mods out of that $1000 I think
