I am currently deployed to Afghanistan:salute: but will be going on leave sometime around Christmas. Needless to say, living in a desert gives one plenty of time to think about all the things one would want to do to his Ex. Point being I am going to be redoing my sound system on my leave but when I get back next April I am trying to put a list together of stuff I want to buy. I plan on "investing" around $2000 dollars right off the bat and here's what I was thinking of so far..

1. BTF Spacers and New UCA's
2. Exhaust
3. Intake
4. either struts or a sct tuner
5. New wheels

I could also regear and do the spacers or spacers and 285's..so many options
What do you guys think? or better yet what would you do if you had $2000 to invest?

Here she is right now

Honestly yours is sitting exactaly how i would like mine to be. If you do bump up to 285's, i'll be willing to take those 265's off your hands. :D but maybe just performance mods...
 






I dunno how you're sitting with stereo, but you could put together a pretty decent setup for $2000. I think your exterior mods look perfect...

I'll be redoing my stereo come december so thats in a totally different fund. I know a guy who owns a aftermarket shop and he is going to hook me up considering I know jack about car audio, but I imagine a $2000 audio system would sound pretty bada**!

43-Still several months away but I'll keep you in mind if I decide to do anything with the tires. Im still trying to plan a trip to Dallas next summer as well so I'll keep you posted!
 






Btf, 285s, regear to 4.11s, and a tuner. If you want to get more lift, there is a guy developing 4 6 and 8 inch suspension lift kits with drop brackets and everything. Or you could just buy my used spacers as soon as I can get my hands on the 4inch lift
 






First I would put that money towards any debt you have.

If no debt, then I would do a lift, larger tires, regear and a tune to fix the speedo/more power.

Already got it covered! Army is paying for my student loans so I dont have to worry about those.

I'm subscribed to that thread, Hopefully he has them developed and in production by the time I get back I will look into those. If not, I still really like the look of the spacers.

Thanks for the input!
