First off, it depends if you re going after performance upgrade or visual upgrade.

Performance:
-Exhaust and HKS drop in filter could use up your $1500

Visual:
-drop on springs
-Tinted windows
-Painted grille or aftermarket grill
-Front splitter
-Headlight/taillight/rear valence overlay

There are a lot combination you can do to stay within you budget. Like others said, it s really up to you. If you tell us what you want to put the emphasis on then I think you'll get better answers.

me personally would go for a drop, a handful of aesthetic mods (new grille, headlights, etc) then go for the exhaust/intake (obv you might have to save for a bit if you want high end on both) but like everyone else said, its what YOU want. you are the one driving it so you should choose what to do. check out the mod section of threads for tons and tons of ideas

Tint - $150
JWT Intake - $200
