I've got a $500-$600 budget for the holidays and am considering the following:
(I know this is basically a re-hash of many previous posts, sorry)

Also I would be doing the work myself, so nothing to radical.

Tuner SCT/diablo (preferences anyone)
Custom Tune (preferences anyone)
Short throw shifter (preferences anyone)
Billet Grille with eleanor fog lamps
Shelby rear spoiler
Drilled/Slotted Rotors
Sequential Tail Lights

Would love to do the following if I could locate a reliable shop in Middlesex NJ (anyone?)
One piece drive shaft
Headers
Dyno Tune


ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOME.

Current Mods
K&N CAI,
CORSA Axle Backs (friggin unreal sounding)
Bullit Steering Wheel & Shifter/boot/bezel,
Chrome tail light trim bezels, Magnetic Rear Black-Out Panel, No-Drill front plate bracket

THanks
Happy Halloween

Off of your "want" list, you could do a couple of those for $600. The intake/tuner alone unless you buy used will run you close to $500. You could also buy some Koni orange shocks for less than $400 off of Ebay for all 4 corners. At that point, you could get something off of your list such as the short-throw or the sequentials.

I think if I were in your boat i'd go with the tuner(leave the intake, since its mostly in the tune anyway) and probably the short-throw or sequentials.

Well I know I'd go for the Sequential Tail Lights, but that's just me.....lol I saw a GT 3 weeks ago that had them and they just looked really cool. That's going to be my first real mod. but it will have to wait til after the holidays, 7 kids and 14 grandkids make the holidays a little tight..........lol Good luck and have fun!

If you have the K&N CAI, BamaChips has tunes that will wake it up to a remarkable degree: $409 for the SCT tuner and three tunes. I'd suggest getting the high-octane torque, performance, and race tunes. The K&N handles low octane well as it is; if you ever need to run 87, in five minutes you can be back to stock until higher octane is available.

That's a mod you'll use every time you turn on the car; another is the sequential turn signals.

Try ranking you options in order of frequency-of-use. Start at the top and quit when you run out of money. Repeat as necessary.

Cheers!

Sequential lights which I have on my car, GTA mufflers, and a short throw shifter if you can do the work yourself. I know my shifter is the pits and I which I had different one.

I say go for the tune and forget about the Shelby spoiler. We really don't need anymore white cs's with that spoiler.

If the K&N you have doesn't require a tune; you're only half done. A Brenspeed tune (and cai if necessary) will transform your car, then add a quality shifter. The majority says MGW, but don't overlook Hurst. In any event, I think you'll get the most value from that combo.
