    Default Need some help to decide

    Well i\'ve been thinking lately what i should get for my car, since i haven\'t touched it for a while. I have around $350 to spend.

    Here are my choices.

    HID yellow fogs (don\'t ask why, I just like them)
    HPS brake pads (mine are not done yet but just thinking about switching them)
    Maybe new fart can (Kinda bored with the HKS)
    Tires will be next summer (want to finish these RSAs up. And I will get winters this year!

    Or any other choices?

    Please dont flame or teach me a lesson or whatnot. I just want some decisions. Thanks again to everyone.

    Hmmm... I\'d go for a MSpeed CAI, unless you have one of those already.

    An axle back exhaust would be cool as well. I\'m not a big fan of the HKS exhaust, too loud IMO. If you need parts, Flip could help you out, or if he can\'t get what you need, PM me. I have a reliable source for parts for a pretty decent price.

    What about an HID kit for your headlights?

    \'Go\' more than \'show\'....I\'m looking into the UmNitza SRI, with a slightly smaller budget than you.

    you could always save it for winter tires.. but if you already have that planned out then maybe the MS Cai or a new sound system..

    Yeah Pearly, remember how much crap everyone gave you last year when you didn\'t get winters! Not sure if you\'ll have access to the TL like last year, but if not, give the winters some strong consideration.

    Yea i remember about the winters. I have money ready for the winters this year. The $350 here is another set of money to spend with.

    I already have the Injen CAI, thanks for the suggestion

    I was thinking of the HID low beam but I want something different from other people so i want to go HID fogs. But I think i should go waranty my fog housing first.

    Not a big fan of sound system. I think i can live with the stock crap for now. But it was a good suggestion.

    Maybe I\'m leaning towards to HID fogs or low beams.

    Thanks again everyone for contributing.

    If anyone have any more suggestions, throw them out.

    A few Stickers... A nice windshield banner. A set of neon lights for underneath your car.

    Save up for a GV or Autoexec Grille (just another option).

    I\'ll make the assumption you are probably using some super bright/blue halogens for your low beams, if so, go with some yellow fogs. Yellow fogs are practical and would probably help with visibility over the aftermarket halogens IMO. Plus it would look sweet.

    hey pearly

    i know ur not a huge sound guy, but i assume it is the loud bass u don\'t like

    why not get some new speakers, don\'t even have to amp them

    would have better sound

    or, HIDs, i would go low beams
    save the fogs for later

    i think the grill would be a good idea as well,

    haha

    lets see what u end up with!

    Get the grill, so I can see what it will look like on a Pearl Hatch.

    Ok if i decided to go for hids then low beam it is!

    As for the grille. I\'m still 50/50 on the looks. I\'ll see what happens.

    Thanks everyone!
