    I'm saving up the big bucks right now for a new head unit but would like to start chipping away at cheaper mods. Any ideas on where to start?

    Thanks

    HIDs in projectors Ill agree with

    intakes= mostly for noise, and the stock setup is only gunna be cooler if the URD or volant with scoop is used, even then ur only talking a couple degrees IF THAT........at speed the stock setup can pull ambient temps

    plastiderp.... :confused:


    leveling kit= spacers?
    how bout a decent suspension kit instead?

    okay maybe its because im young, i have HIDS in my stock lights, no blinding. i have good eyes, people my age have good eyes. hell my mom is 50 and i put HIDS in her kia soul because she loves them. hating on HIDs in stock headlights is pointless, imo

    plastidip rims, badges, bumper, so why the face

    leveling kit? theres 5100s.. and whats wrong with spacers? everyone here beats the 'cheaper way to do things' like its the 'wrong way' just because someone cant spend 800 bucks on a lift kit doesnt mean its wrong.

    HIDs in stock housings will not ever control scatter.

    when I hear leveling kits I think spacers

    5100's will work and are a good shock and decent lift option for sure but I didnt think those were in the same realm as a leveling kit

    ..................but on a trd offroad (OP) the ride will be pretty firm due to progressive coils.... if under 2.5" it may be a decent ride, but at 2.5" Ive ridden with em and it was pretty abusive
