Getting a $522 tax return tomorrow which will be spent on a playstation 3, final fantasy 13, and madden nfl.

Then I'll have about $160 left over. Next friday, the 19th, I get paid, and I should be able to hold onto another 200ish to spend on the car. So my budget I'm giving myself is $350 to spend on the Monte come the 19th.

So now what do i do with my 2006 Monte Carlo SS?

Do I spend $350 on the back half of my exhaust? Magnaflows are planned... (better tone)

Do I spend it on a cold air intake and a throttle body spacer? (upwards of 20hp)

Do I start on the stereo system? (for some rockin' as I'm driving)

Do I get my windows tinted? (summer time will suck in a black, leather seated, car in a city where every tree drips sap)

I'm torn.

Also, thanks to everyone on here who's answered my seemingly endless supply of questions. I have been able to put together a plan on what I want to do to my car thanks to you, there is just no order yet as I want it ALL!!!!

 

I say get your CAI...and then of course start saving for the rest too!

 

Don't forget to buy an HDMI cable with your PS3.

I would do the CAI / TB Spacer

 

Go tint, hold on to the rest and go CAI with a little from the next check. :-P

 

Tint.

 

tint her up!

 

All you people with your looks before engine Mods...

 

lol i just said that bc im too scared to mess aruund with engines.. i really wish I knew more.

 

What better way to learn?

 

Actually now that you make me think about it I DID get my CAI before I tinted my windows.... but tint is more of an instant gratification thing. Everyone can see your tint, CAI not so much... so I guess it's also a vanity thing!
