spend the money on something that will improve performance, whether it be speed or handling

go with the short throw shifter and some energy suspension bushings. its a night and day difference when it comes to shifting.

Lip - either stock EG Si or Spoon knock-off

Smoked amber corners - forget about real Vision corners with your budget, get knock-offs from EBay

Amber fogs - same as above, forget about real ones, get knock-offs from EBay

Rear bar - 2 words: Progress FTW

Seat(s) - with your budget, 1 knock-off seat is all you can get, choose wisely

ES motor mount inserts $37+shipping from summitracing.com They will help improve your response in your car. :)

ITR Rear 22mm sway bar is around $100 and add a bsq kit for reinforcement for $30 and you got yourself a night and day handling machine. :)

You won't see it but it will definitely improve overall driving.

or you can buy the suspension techniques sway bar kit for about 230.00. Thats a real night /day difference

too bad you can't buy any wheels for $200. this might be cool since you're boosting. keep the heat soak down. but then again, you live in maine.

I agree, get some es mount inserts, as far as a weighted shift knob, I'd go for the Grex (trust or Greddy), but then again, I'm a greddy slut lol

I agree with crazyxzer0 more. Get the ITR bar and reinforcement kit, and get a stock Si front bar (if you don't have one). Will work A LOT better than the ST kit. ST bars and most other aftermarket bars are overkill IMO.

thanks,
-jacki highlighted and italic'd my choices. i know i used ebay.ca (can't help it, i'm canadian eh?) but they can be had on ebay.com as well.

p.s. you can't get all of it for $400 so you have to make some decisions as to what comes first. remember, choose function then fashion. no sense havving a sweet looking slow car ;)
