well it depends on
a) your goals aka fast or show or suspension
b) ur current mods
d) price range

put all those together and come out with the most practical mod that would give u the most satisfaction for ur current wants... therefore maximizing marginal utility....

lol just got out of econ class.. im failing

well, i want show, but i also want it to get up and go when i give it hell.
i have no mods at all yet to the engine.
i can afford most of it except the bodykit/turbo here in the near future. those other 2 i'll need to save for.

but first i need to look nice. but it's not a big deal if it's ready to go before it's ready for show.

I'd say tinted windows but $300 is WAY to much. Mine were only $100.

hmmm. i must be looking in the wrong places then good lookin out guys!

also, about tinted windows. i know after a few years they almost always get bubbles in the tint, i was wondering if anyone knows anything about getting them smoked instead of a film tint? is it possible and if so how much?

Good tint that is properly installed will not bubble. My current car is at 1 year without any bubbles and my last car was at 5 years without any bubbles. I think I had 3M tint on the last car.

smoking the windows isnt a good idea, that is somethign that you do to talights, not windows. it would be hard to make such a large area uniform and it would be more difficult to see through bc images will look more blurry through them.
