It was supposed to come in when I got my car, but my car came in a bit sooner than they thought. Hopefully I'll get it put on next week along with some HIDs. Trip 03-13-2008, 12:03 PM I'd put my money into the "house fund" towards the purchase of a garage. :D MotorCity Honda 03-13-2008, 12:10 PM I'd put my money into the "house fund" towards the purchase of a garage. :D You didn't play by the rules.... If I had 5k to spend however I choose and I HAD to spend it and NOT save/invest it I sure would not spend it all on my car!!! HondaPOD 03-13-2008, 12:18 PM I would buy a spoiler ($500), new splash guard set (broken one)($125), after-market rims ($1,500), all-season trunk mat ($150), + gas ($2,225) Subtotal - $5,000. :) 98AccordEX 03-13-2008, 12:34 PM I would buy a spoiler ($500), new splash guard set (broken one)($125), after-market rims ($1,500), all-season trunk mat ($150), + gas ($2,225) Subtotal - $5,000. :) Ha Ha, I was thinking 2 things upgraded tires and a gas card/account. The car is fun enough and good-looking enough IMO, mods aren't really necessary. Upgraded tires $800.00 Cleaning supplies $100.00 Starbucks card $100.00 Insurance for the year $1000.00 New Sunglasses (polarized for visibility) $400.00 Extended warranty $900.00 Accessories: Cargo organizer, mud flaps, wheel locks $200.00 Prepaid Gas Cards (or American Express..safer) for the year $1500.00 at the current rate $3.30/gal, the $1500 will only buy me 8gal a week. princess 03-13-2008, 12:44 PM There's really nothing else I want to add to my Accord......:dunno: Well, maybe a cousin.... so let's see....5K plus 20K trade in, I'd be about 25K short.....:thumbsdow I didn't see any "rules"....:dunno: How about 5k in fuel, so I can be as lead footed as I please? Nope, too much guilt. I know! A taser for those people that meander in front of me. I'd speed them up!! One rigged to a foglight that will retract quickly! Cattle prod? Maybe paint that's no detectable by radar? I got it! A Honda ATV!! That's it! I may need one with a lawn mower attachment in TX!! I'd be the boys' favorite grandma! Oh yea, I already am!!!:lmao: JamieJam1AIM 03-13-2008, 01:02 PM invest it in apple Stock.. then after it goes up another 70 a share. Buy another accord coupe and make it a Clifornia Convertible... :) sjlee 03-13-2008, 01:09 PM I wouldn't spend it on my Accord... like others... I'd put it towards debt or just save it up. If I was forced to spend it on my car, it would go towards: 1. Upgraded speakers ($250) 2. OEM V6 MT wheels ($1000) 3. OEM lip spoiler ($260 plus installation) 4. OEM cargo net ($38) 5. OEM trunk tray ($83) 6. Snow tires and rims ($900) 7. Summer tires ($500) That still doesn't add up to $5k, so with the rest I'd just have the car completely detailed and stock up on maintenance items. Trip 03-13-2008, 01:17 PM You didn't play by the rules.... If I had 5k to spend however I choose and I HAD to spend it and NOT save/invest it I sure would not spend it all on my car!!! OK, OK . . . If I had to choose mods for the car . . . most def tires, brakes and rotors . . . A thicker rear stabilizer bar to tweak the handling from understeer to neutral (the car corners plenty flat for me now) . . . that's prolly 1/2 of it right there :lmao: On the outside, maybe Inspire side mirrors with the turn signals. The rest of it, I'd put into the interior. I like the under dash lights but I'd prolly do something a bit more custom and add them on the floor for the rears seats and put puddles lamps on the doors. Add a video feed, DVD player, and carputer with wireless would be cool to have internet access on board. Now, if I had a garage to park in so I can do these mods . . . . krazyfiend 03-13-2008, 03:42 PM Is pulling a quasi Elliot Spitzer and getting some high class strippers/call girls and having an orgy in the huge back seat out of the question ? tbh, i'd shoehorn a rebuilt m119 v8 into my proj. car. and EFI it w/ a megasquirt or haltech unit... stevencrosbie 03-13-2008, 04:07 PM I got it! A Honda ATV!! That's it! I may need one with a lawn mower attachment in TX!! I'd be the boys' favorite grandma! Oh yea, I already am!!!:lmao: That would be a great accessory! I love my ATV! I'd think about one in TX if you have the access...you already have the hard part...and that's the truck. All you need is some ramps and you will have a great piece of entertainment. stevencrosbie 03-13-2008, 04:08 PM Like the others...that money would replenish some liquid savings I have that I depleted for my ATV :D Otherwise: Nerf Bars BFG K/Os Gas! :D Truck really doesn't need much at all. I like it. Maybe pay some XM subscriptions. k757 03-13-2008, 04:46 PM ~$1500 - 18" Accord HFP chrome wheels (eBay price) ~$1000 - GOOD tires! ~$2500 - Gas :lmao: viscott 03-13-2008, 04:55 PM Hrmmm maybe 19" PDS-10 HFP Alloy Wheels with Painted Finish. RTexasF 03-13-2008, 05:25 PM Put it towards finding a top notch turbo shop that could make my ride spit out Mustangs.......likely need another 5 grand though. Sorry, not 8th gen but still want sleeper zoom zoom. Technotiger 03-13-2008, 09:18 PM I'd probably pay off my car quicker. :) TYLERC56 03-14-2008, 06:15 AM i agree with jamie.. on the apple stock then dump it .. man orte to get double back.. then you got ten g's to play with AndyCpe08 03-14-2008, 07:45 AM I would add my audio system then pay off credit card jackpop 03-14-2008, 09:48 AM I would use it to put down on a trade in for an 08 accord ex-l v6 with nav :banana: coupe or sedan, haven't decided... But if that wasn't part of the rules,than, rims tires, suspension upgrade, k&n intake, nav conversion, and a NICE detail :notworthy sjlee 03-14-2008, 10:14 AM Is pulling a quasi Elliot Spitzer and getting some high class strippers/call girls and having an orgy in the huge back seat out of the question ? The backseat isn't that "huge", so I'm thinking one or two at most. Better keep some of that cash to have the car detailed afterwards. :naughty: jackpop 03-14-2008, 10:16 AM LOL:lmao::lmao::lmao: 421 03-14-2008, 10:22 AM pull the front seats foward and put their backs all the way down, you got plenty o room:naughty: 2007EX-L/NAVI 03-14-2008, 10:39 AM 50' LCD, 40' plasma, PS3, Blue-Ray, & if I had some any extra, start on a better surround sound... Or try to get some of the VISA IPO (is it out yet??) Or I would supercharge/pro charger my Nova.....

If I win enough, I'll buy another car, a nicer one (I like to dream) If I lose that $5000, I'll just wait for another $5000 to come along...heh:banana: stevencrosbie 03-15-2008, 06:03 AM That is hilarious Jimbo! BarqCider 03-15-2008, 11:44 PM 5k? i know what id do... 2 chicks at the same time Driveslow 03-15-2008, 11:50 PM In all honesty i would pay off my car, but sense we're talking about mods.. I'd buy a lip, SRI, spoiler, headers, new pulleys, new cam gears, turbocharger, springs and shocks. Thats probably around 4800(excluding pay to have it all installed of course :P), but i'd knock off the other $200 and save it as my gas fund :thmsup: That or to replace my OEM breaks after slowing down the power of that new turbo OOOOOOHHH |
