Torn between two choices...................
Hi all fellow Solara guys,
After having my Sol for few years stocked, I want to mod it (my unfulfilled dream ever).
A lil background: I've already got the audio system (DVD/Alpine LCD screen, carputer, GPS, subs and etc..), tinted windows, alarm, 17' TSW Revos, clear signal lights and Injen intake.
I hardly drive the car much since I commute to work by subway/metro. I only drive in the weekend or run some errant @ nights. I'm NOT into drag-racing. However, I sometimes do it just for fun occasion e.x traffic light and stuffs.
Ok, enough with all the b.s.
Here is the question, please give me some guidelines or thoughts you might have.
Assume that I have about 2k to spend on the new mod, which way would you go????
1. Buy a used S/C and other related things such as plugs, wires..etc..
2. Buy used TRD bodykit or new Revolution kit (ebay) + suspension package of Tokico/Eibach + Brembo slots rotors for front/rear + smoked tail lights.
Either way, I'll try to install myself with some help from friends. In my dream, I have them both. Saddly, back to the reality, i have to choose only one. So which one would you go?
Thanks.
Sincerely.
Edited:
Added poll & additional information of my situation:
1. I've already had V6 so the power is not that bad. S/C is much better though.
2. I live in apartment, no garage. If I go with option 2, it's kinda ....scary. Maybe I need to buy a car cover.
maybe I should put the money for down payment for a townhouse.
