Yeah, for as far as I usually drive I'm not that concerned about the gas mileage savings you could possibly get from a CAI. I mean if I could pull another 5 to 10 horses with it, it's worth it to me. I'm just trying to start with small engine mods and work my way up. I'm not trying to get 400+ horses or anything but maybe end up in the 300 range would be nice.

Id get the CAI first. And if you're considering any performance mods, Id do those before any cosmetics, depending on price of course..
What color HID's you looking at..? Green LOL??

Performance first. Looks get a lot of attention for sure, but sometimes it's bad attention. Plus, what would you rather do, be beat by a car that you thought you would win against or beat a car that nobody expected you to win against?

Although in my situation all I will say is, I wish I had traction, lol.

Personally, I'd get the windows tinted first.

voted for CAI. Over time the CAI will pay for itself in gas milage. I have the wizaired CAI and its great. Then with the money you save buy HIDs.
