About this Current Vehicle:

It's my first car, and I got it in run-down condition. Stole it for a great price, and have been spending a lot of time scrubbing and touching-up most of the areas. I want to do some minor modifications, progressively, making my bird better with age. I'm a pretty poor college student that would like advice on some minor mods that are the best bang for the buck. Help keep the birds alive. : ]

W68 : ^ )

Exterior Modifications:

Tons-O-Touchup Paint, tinted license plate cover, clear driving lights/ turn signals, Twin/ Dual Chrome tips

Interior Modifications:

Surfboard Air Freshener, Firebird Floor Mats

Performance:

180 Degree Thermostat, SLP catback loudmouth I with twin/ dual tips (pics coming soon)

Suspension/Chassis:

N/A

Drivetrain:

Electronics:

Delco Bose Speakers, Pioneer Head Unit, Code-Alarm motion sensitive alarm system, dash mounted LED strip, remote starter ; ^ )

Well, When I got the headers my trans started slipping so my times at the track havnt really improved but they do make a difference.

From what I've heard though long tubes are the best but only FFF sells them (actually a waiting list for them) fullthr

Btw... The HID's are pretty much the cheap setup, I bought the H4 head lamp assembly's off ebay, Ditched the halogens they came with and found some cheap H4 HID's off ebay for around 100$ shipped.

Great 1st ride. Best bang for your buck in upgrades would be a chip and an exhaust. Good Luck.
