i have about 190 in the bank right now,and i get paid about the same every week

should i,,

buy black housing headlights for 135 now

or

buy fog lights for around 150 now

or

buy tints and side window deflectors which would be around 230 by next week

or

get stage 1 or 2 clutch and flywheel which is like almost 1000 or about, which would mean id have to save up till about a month or so

Save it til you know what you really want, or save it just so that you're not broke later.

My general rule of thumb is that anyone under 25/still in school should have at least $100 in the bank at all times, just in case.

Aside from that, I always lean towards performance first.

Save it. Alot of it.

Save for say $2500 at least, It will make it much easier to figure out what you want.

Then you need to figure out it you want Performance, Looks, or Comfort.

You can have comfort and looks, but not performance. The more performance you gain, the less comfortable the ride will be.

Regardless, everything you do will effect the next thing you do.

I just graduated High School, so my philosophy was never spend more than $60 dollars on a aftermarket modification. Its tough but I know my car will never be nice till I can put some REAL money in it. Since I've decided to take it easy and only do a few cheap things I've saved over 2000 on a minimum wage job through my years in H.S. (with expensive repairs)

Don't blow paychecks right on your car, save it up. Your bank statement will thank you.

co-signed on saving. unless you have a great deal of mods aside from I/H/E an after market clutch and fly wheel combo is a waste of money.
