    IF you really have that much money to put down right now, ill say you do w/e the hell you want wit hit. Thats alot of money to waste based on other peoples opinions, speciially if they dont even know what your looking for.

    That being said, if it were MY car and i had that much money, then id go with headers/turbo, since those are the only things im really missing. Your car on the other hand is different, cuz you probly have different goals than i did.

    All in all, do what you feel is more apropriate from you. Just remember none of us are gonna have to live with any bad decisions you make. And not everyone will agree with any one same opinion.

    Your answer relies completely on who is being asked. I know that my 09 gts is never gonna be a speed deamon but it can become a beast in the twisties!!! Suspension Suspension Suspension and better breathing (i.e. intake and exhaust)! There's my route... what road will you take?

    If I had $5,000 it'd go straight on my credit cards to pay them off haha but since that's not what you asked, here's what I'd do with $5,000.

    CF Hood
    Sound System
    Rims
    Exhaust
    CAI
    and if I somehow found another $4,000 a Turbo :)

    So far my car has:
    SRI
    Painted Engine
    Underglow
    Xenon Headlights
    Xenon Headlight Strobes
    Blue interior neons
    Graphics down the sides

    :)

    ahh...5k, i litteraly just got one of those dumb peices of garbage mail saying i was qualified for 5k. No yolk. What do you guys think? Go for it? And see if i get the 5k, or no? But if i got it...
    Wait for a turbo for the CVT most likely
    Maybe trade for RA
    or get a bunch of add ons like headers...my list so far, recaro seat, SRI, axel back, Tenzo rims, pully

    I would spend some on engine upgrades, like a crank pulley and new headers, and maybe some other stuff for some more power. As for the rest i would spend on a sound system and body work such as, underglow lights, suspension, graphic, and rims and tires. thats just my opinion though, everyone is going to be different!

    You kno i completly forgot.

    A cheap and effective way to raise HP w/o turbo is hte piggy back, and from what ive heard its VERY successful. If you dont wana go turbo, you could get all the ohter NA mods, get that piggy, and do some body work. Youll even have some money left over for rims and stuff. Run a budget with all the stuff you can do. Start with the smallest thing and work your way up.
