Where To Spend My $

[ryanthefizz]

so i got this stock 2001 2door. i have a small budget, down to about 400$ after ordering the CAI for Naich. now i don't know what else i want to do. I found some Strut tower braces for 100$, but i would also like to do something to the exhaust, but my dad says if i leave it he will help me get something nice if the stock ever starts to crap out. I would like to get my car re-chipped but thats costly usually. Umm, i also found an ignition system for 200$ that says it will increase gas milage by 14%... or should i just focus on cosmetic stuff like window tinting and a new cd changer. What do you guys think? keep in mind im no mechanic.

For that amount of money, I would by an electronic shift enhancer like the autotrans interceptor or B&M shift ehancer. Then, I would lower the car and tint the windows. That's just my $ .02.

tint = 200
eibach prings = 250
electronic shift =?
mechanic fee = ?

too much.

[justinusaf]

Id look towards tint and springs.

[eag182]

tint and sound system and I guess throw in the shiftplus since its only $40

[misslindseysue]

Tint it and save the rest for gas.

Springtech springs=$150
tint=$150 (if you are looking at $200 for tint, they are ripping you off)
electronic shift=$40-$125
mechanic fee= $0, find a friend of do it yourself

[ryanthefizz]

tint includes front and back windshield, and has a lifetime warranty... cheapest guy around.

[misslindseysue]

Pricing for tint totally varies by location, quality of work and materials, and a million other things. Go with what you think the best price is. I was thrilled to get mine for $170. I just hope you're really not tinting the front windshield. Because that's really illegal for a reason.

[ryanthefizz]

oh, ya... i knew that :P

[ryanthefizz]

whats the big crave for springs? they really that nice? is a lowwering of an inch and a half that big of a deal? sides it snows here so i dont know if lowwerings a good idea with snow.

[flalero]

Springs are just about the best looking mod you can make. The car looks like a four by four when it's not lowered. Just go with what you want to do. Our opinions really shouldn't matter very much, it's your decision. However, I would go with springs and tint.

[ryanthefizz]

i agree springs look nice, btu will my car get slaughtered in the snow with springs on?

[Pimpalero03]

eh i beg to differ. ive had the jeep for 6 months and only put 240 into it. i wouldnt call it decked out in any way

[alerored04]

springs wont hurt ya in the snow, i go to school in Grand Forks ND and am here all winter, the snow removal here sucks at best and they havent hurt me yet and i dont think they will. if the snow is deep enough to cause problems with ride height you wont be going very far anyway.

[ryanthefizz]

ty, springs and a tint it is

[alerored04]

:thumb: enjoy em, and im glad i could help.

Good choice, post up some pics when you get them done. About the snow, you shouldn't have a problem. When I first moved to Colorado, I had a lowered RX-7. I was in the mountains every weekend during the winter to go snowboarding. I never had problem with it.
