If your looking along the lines of visual appeal, you can get a carbon fiber VG or Mynes hood dampeners so you don't have to use the stupid hood prop. You can also buy a manifold heat shield or a radiator shroud.

well, not much u can do with 300 then. u should save it and get a TRE max lock. 450 for the service. u dont need a rear sway bar, the stock is sufficient. only get it for fine tuning.
are u on stock suspension? if so, upgrade the springs. i think thats around 300 depending.

I agree 100%! If you are on stock suspension get these: http://www.google.com/products/catal...ed=0CCEQ8wIwAQ

It will make the biggest possible difference for around 300 bucks.

Why not go to the F/S section and see what catches your eye? Or look at the "modding your Evo, $100 at a time" thread.

If I had a lifetime membership at a track, I'd need at least a $3000 budget a month for R comps and track pads alone.

360whp does sound sketchy for how few mods this guy has. I'm at 375whp on pump gas, and my IX is cammed.
