Well i have finally come into some money and would like to know what you think would be some good parts/upgrades i should buy with my new found fortune, lol.....this is what ive got so far..

Suspension-KYB/SportlinesGauges-Tach, air/fuel,oil temp, 2guage podand tommorow im probably gonna order my B&M shifter

Now im already getting it tinted this weekend and I have around 6-7 hundred$'s to play with after buying the above mentioned items.. I know $600 isnt all that much but im lookin for maybe a few cheap cosmetic upgrades anybody would recommend...not looking to buy upgrades to the ka cuz i have another stash of money building up for my sr swap....

Any comments or suggestions are appreciated:D

don't waste your money on A/F gauge. They're pointless light shows.

18"s are overkill, would look goofy with low profile tires, but hey its YOU'RE car, do whatever you like

18's look too funny on a 240. I personally think 17's look too big.

thats YOUR car anyway [s3].

Point made, i agree on the rims. 17's are enough really. I would try to get some of those eastbear lights or kouki tails. They run right about 500-600 bux.

Hmmm...maybe ur right, the only reason im even thinking about 18's is that im hoping it might kill what little gap i have left after lowering the car....it might just be me but the wheels filling up the fenders looks great imo, but im thinking your right it might be overkill...

ps:thnx for the feedback so far everybody:)

edit:....tail-lights, that sounds like a good idea

I'd go brakes as well, as far as cosmetics, the 180 tail lights are like $550 and the east bear headlight kit is $650 and a C-west front bumper is $620. you could get new speakers, I wish I had thousands to spend on audio. I love my music. or, you could cover your whole exterior with neons, that would be a hella paint job.

the eastbear headlights are overpriced and light poorly from what i've heard.

Audio is taken care of.....the taillights are seeming better by the minute, ill probably get the brakes when i get my sr.....ive been thinking about a cf hood. I like the look of the vented ones (rice?)...but im worried about how they hold up when it really storms...last thing i want is a soaked motor. Anybody have any experience with these?

I was going to say, I saw a CF hood after a hailstorm one, If you get one atleast get it insured, cause you can't pull dings out of it, and unless your a lego master, I doubt you'll be able to glue it together.
