I'd go with tint if you don't already have it. I can't stand fish bowling.... But this is coming from the guy with 5% all around and had it down the day after I bought the car lol.

If tint is less important to you, go for the StopTech rotors.

i already have tint from the factory but i kindah want to go lower on the percentage. Maybe 25% but tint is not a priority right now but thanks for the tip!

Unless your brakes actually needs maintenance I would cross that out. Are you lowered already? If not springs and wheel spacers combo.

Motordyne M370- Powers gains through middle of power band. I think you would need a tune after to realize the gains though. Nice mod though and I am considering it as well.

^^^ best advice so far!

500$ won't get you much with these cars . Anything you spend 500$ on you'll be sick of rather quickly. Save up for a high quality bigger ticket item.

motordyne m370 is worth the money just for the sound it makes. that combined with r2c intakes and i no longer hear my exhaust. its just a wollow wollow wollow sound from the engine bay. amazing. that sound makes you feel it in the butt dyno without a tune.
