Cheap Upgrades

Ok, I got the ebay thing down, and now i was wondering, what other cheap upgrades other than air intake(just bought one) are there for our cars that wouldn't crack $70 with shipping?

And no, no type r stickers.. or S from a carolla.. >_<

As for performance i dont know, but cleaning everything and repainting everything in the enginebay can really bring out its beauty. Look at some of my idi covers for sale if you want ideas.

depends on what you consider cheap? (if your really looking to NOT go over 70..) interior lighting, WAI/CAI, cheap speakers...


I'd go with the WAI or CAI and save some money on gas. Then just save up till you can afford better stuff.
