A Stock e92 and $300 What Would You Do...

tshoww · 05-15-2012, 12:18 AM

Curious to see what others would do with $300 and a stock e92. Black grilles, painted side markers, after market AE, and a spoiler would be my top choices and of course tint (Not all together but mix and match for $300). Let me know what you guys would do!

project6 · 05-15-2012, 12:21 AM

Tint and spoiler first. You already have existing angel eyes...upgrade down the road, black grilles can be a DIY project. Side markers are inexpensive.

radarrob · 05-15-2012, 07:21 AM

Intake or a radardetector.

MrPig · 05-15-2012, 07:27 AM

What colour is the car? If SGM/Montego Blue/Alpine White then matte/gloss black kidney grilles. Then a toss up between spoiler and painted side markers.

smallseafishie · 05-15-2012, 07:27 AM

My vote is to get a JB4. Maybe a used one from the classifieds.

That has got to be the best bang for buck that puts a smile on my face every time I get in the drivers seat.

Lux H8 for white angel eyes is the next vote.

e1001usa · 05-15-2012, 07:53 AM

JB4

Pyrrhic · 05-15-2012, 08:00 AM

Preventative maintenance.

amill411 · 05-15-2012, 08:12 AM

also +1 for JB4

you'll grin from ear to ear

david 335is · 05-15-2012, 08:52 AM

save your money and get all them at once, frist painted side markers, tint, Black grilles

NBK · 05-15-2012, 09:01 AM

tank of gas

sammy_0559 · 05-15-2012, 09:09 AM

im all about performance, save just a little more and get, DCI, JB4, and usb cable.....then down pipes....then FMIC....then Meth...then Rb turbos....then LSD...then upgraded axels...then

then you work on your exterior lol IMO

tanginaglaz · 05-15-2012, 09:15 AM

I don't think you'll be able to find a JB4 for $300. Get a JB+, some plasti dip for your kidney grills and a $59 ebay m3 lip rear spoiler.

andybui82 · 05-15-2012, 09:40 AM

get more money.

Sara · 05-15-2012, 09:56 AM

He's going to need more than just a jb4. Hell then need a charge pipe catch can etc. Gotta pay to play bro

edirtaynine · 05-15-2012, 10:05 AM

1 can of plastidip for grilles = $5
used H&R sport/race springs = $150 avg
install springs yourself = free
shadowline gloss black vinyl = $40?
install shadowline yourself = free

save the remaining $100 and wait til you get more money to buy decent shocks.

infinitigor · 05-15-2012, 11:22 AM

Jb+ , black kidney grills, and spoiler

E90Company · 05-15-2012, 11:31 AM

lowering springs and hit the slots!

virtualbong · 05-15-2012, 11:50 AM

Tint will use up most of the $300 that you have. After that...you'll only have a little left for probably Matte Black Grilles.

NightStalker · 05-15-2012, 11:58 AM

don't just spend it, save it up.

you should look into M sport kit maybe that will motivate you to save up

M BROK3 · 05-15-2012, 01:10 PM

Tune (Jb4 or whatever you can get)

Wild Squid · 05-15-2012, 01:19 PM

I'll be the first one to say it, but I'd use it on a professional detail job. Clay, polish, wax, bring the back to new car glory and better.
