Lol Coy I asked what suggestions do you have. I'm only two months into the modding so I was looking for suggestions since I don't know half the mods you guys do.
Don't know what to do to the car now..

Exactly the reason why I said that he should save his money to buy coilovers, wheels, and tires.

Thats not what I said at all. I'm looking to knock out any smaller mods that cost less than suspension and wheels because that'll cost around a grand or more. I don't need to save money every second because I make enough right that that I could afford the suspension and rims in a month of work. Seeing as I CANNOT buy the rims or suspension for another 4 months or so I'm looking for other small things that I could do to pass the time and help my car out a little. Examples of what I could do - Short Shifter, Fog lights, chipped ECU etc. You know? Those 100-200 dollar things not 1000+ mods.

chipped ecu is like 400$...........dyno tuning is 150 an hour and you need 2 hours or so....chips are like x amouint depending on the chip

Hmm then I'm mistaken on the ECU. I saw one for 200 I believe, don't remember where though. I wouldn't do an ECU anyway, no reason to.

you probably saw a chipped one on craigslist for another car. you still need to dyno tune it and reburn the chip

No I know you need to dyno it which is pricey but I saw it on a website. I totally forget where though. You could send yours in or pay for them to send you one.

man, some rims alone will sink you over a grand, depending on what you want.. some rims will be a few grand.. let alone tires & lug nuts.. then if you have to get them balanced/aligned/installed and you aren't a mechanic.. Suspension is another grand on top of that if you're going to do it right.
You listed some stuff you could do for yourself anyways man, fogs & short shifter. Pick up a Skunk2 Short Shifter/Shift Knob combo or something.. Do up a gauge pod on a door pillar, they're not hard.

A gauge pod on my pillar is useless when I don't care what the gauges are reading. The rims I want are Rota Grids so they are about 500 and I get a discount on them, along with brand new Toyos for 200 bucks. My dad is a mechanic and gets everything at the actual price. And he installs and does alignments and everything else for me since I don't have a shop. So for the rims and tires I'm looking at 600 bucks with brand new tires, rims and alignment done. Not bad at all. Thanks for the help too man.
