what to ask for my bday?

Post by krc21 » Sun May 11, 2008 6:48 pm

so im just curious i know this is a broad question but car wise what do you think i should ask for for the bday. im buying myself new struts springs and camber bolts so i can lower it finally. but what are some things i can ask for from the rents.. i was gonna get a set of autometer c2 gauges oil press, water temp, and volt. and a triple pod from my mom but im not sure if i want that anymore and what should i ask for from my dad? just trying to get opinions.

something you would get for your car maybe..

i have led taillights and projector headlights. so i got that covered. an underdrive pully sounds good but i heard that can mess up your voltage and stuff.. i heard its a really good mod but my car is a daily driver. can i get one without risking any sort of breakage? lol

I would ask for cash which then gives me the following options:

1) Purchase car parts.

2) Purchase something else.

3) Save the cash so I can retire early and exit the rat race.

Best suggestions that have been posted. It all really depends what direction your going with your car.

Id ask for:

CAI
Exhaust
Headlights (your choice)
Stereo components
Interior items.

It jus all depends on your taste

If your lip kit is still black, ask to have that painted. Or to have your mirrors color matched. CAI is pretty much pointless, as you are already seeing the gains that you would achieve by buying one. Maybe an R/T exhaust or something, for a little more sound. Check out Trubendz as well for exhausts.

I don't know if I am too late to reply this. Save money for gas. That's your birthday gift to being a wise man.
