3k IDEAS
Say you had 3K to spend on your VY V6< wat would you spend it on
option1:
Im thinking either 19inch rims for 3K and lowering on King Springs Superlows
OR option2:
Dump my car King Springs Superlows, get DVD player and descent audio/visual system worth $1,500-$2,000, then spend the rest on GPS or exsust
What would you do?any ideas im confused soo bad

I already spent 3k (almost) mostly on the bodykits and mufflers plus interior
Guess what - need another 3k for lowering + alloys
Got some spare - let me know 
Cheers

I suppose it depends on whether you want improved looks, or better performance.
I would probably go performance and get extractors, exhaust, cai, k & n or eqiuvalent and some high ratio rockers and you should have at least 900 left to lower your car.
Just my 2c

All up $8056.50 and I will need to pay some panel beater to spray & fit the bumper, grill & flutes
Oh, sorry I was just picking my self up off the floor at that final figure,,,,,
I was going to show you young fullars how to buy some things on the cheap on EBay or at store specials etc and how fitting your self can save a few dollars but damm, that's still up their. I will have to miss out on an overseas trip and some sailing equipment this year I think or I will be broke by 2008.
Oh well at least that gives you some idea of what I have gone through and the dollar value I have had to pay up north here to make it happen.

Yep well I'm still playing but I have not looked at my bank balance for a while... bloody sad really,
I just let the Visa payments go out every month as I put every thing on the card and what ever else needs to go out is all direct debt but I am too frightened to look at the balance, because if I don't see it there's no problem..... EASY.
When I am done with the bumper etc I will post up the pic's. Just another wagon really but that's life.

i spent around $3k on mine on my first set things done.

dont forget, the bigger the rims, the more you need tyres and the more theyll cost
