here's another option...

HFP exhaust, K&N drop in, skunk2 springs, & skunk2 ss and/or shift knob (if you can save even a lil $ by the time you buy).

good blend, should make for a nice increase of overall performance!

I don't want it lowered too much - I go over speed bumps every week and I don't want to trash my car. As for other cosmetics, I would want to do some tint (I'm thinking 5% below legal limits just to be safe). I don't know what else to do. I've never modded a car before, so be patient with me!

Performance-wise I don't want much. I'd like to keep gas efficiency up, but I wouldn't mind a bit of a boost in power.

So...with $600 (maybe a bit more out-of-pocket), what should I do? I am completely open to any and all ideas for the car, so have at it!

where in NOVA are you? swifts have been great in the context of the local driving area. the ssi is also installed. if you'd like, send me a pm if you want to take a look etc.

Hmmm. $600. Hmmm.

Weighted shift knob (got my 454g one for $45, it's a Blox knob)
N1 Concepts LED tail lights ($~110-120 after shipping)
tint, fo' sho' (depends on your area, got mine for $250)
A-spec intake is less than $200
and I'm pretty sure Swift and Megan Racing springs are rereasonably priced.
