Hey guys, so I was wondering what the best mods are for $100. Small, easy, and simple things can really make a big difference. Examples: LED lighting, key hole delete, new door handles (especially on the 08 models with the crappy plastic ones). Anyone have any good ideas?

 

Keyhole delet is like $30
DIY grounding kit is $40
K&N replacement filters $80
LED kit Dom diode dynamics $80
Pumpkin fluid change to high pressure fluid $40 DIY

Not too much under $100 for our rides.

 

You can do a different color ignition button or the gtr start button. Dieseldoug can help you out.

 

Don't forget about other aesthetic mods -- there's a lot you can do with some paint. Other ideas:

-Paint Emblems
-Paint (stock?) wheels
-Paint Grill
-Paint Headlings
-Paint (Overlays?) Tail Lights
-Paint Brake Calipers
-Paint Engine Cover
-Debadge

 

if you've got an auto trans you can reverse the shift direction for manual mode. best mod i ever did.

 

I've been meaning to do that. It's on my list. Pushing it forward to upshift just doesn't seem right.

 

plasti dip wheels grill/emblem !

 

A pair of wheel spacers, just a lil over $100.

 

afe filters, or intake tubes.

 

This costs about $5, depending where you buy 'em from, but really helps with the blind spots. I stick on the outer lower corners of both mirrors.

 

Removing the helper spring on the 6mt G's! Just did mine today and been having much smoother shifts

 

A great mod that made a difference to me is Resonator Delete (Cost me $100)

I had so much fun going home from the muffler shop, now everyone thinks I have a aftermarket exhaust system. Well my Injen Ram Air intake really helps as well.

 

Couple things I listed require some DIY skills, but can all be achieved for $100.

- GTR start button: $40
- Painted Brake Calipers: $30
- Door Pulls (for 2008): $75
- M45 Shift ****: $100
- Rear Valance Vinyl: $50
- BlackBetty Grounding Kit: $80
- Weather Mats: $100
- HID bulbs: $60
- Painted Headlights: $50

I've never had a problem with this and makes perfect sense.. don't know why anyone would every change it.

Upshift - Push Up

Downshift - Push Down

 

Cause when you're pressed back in your seat accelerating like a bat out of hell, its much more natural to pull back towards you to shift up than try and lean and push forward.

 

From the video's I've seen on youtube, I think it really ruins the note of the car. Yes it becomes louder but sounds a lot raspier. Please feel free to post a video of your setup.

I think that's a BMW thing. I think it makes much more sense to up shift upwards and downshift downwards. Others just feel like they have to reverse it regardless just to feel different from everyone else
