The Usual..."What should i buy"

well did my taxes, paid some bills and now i have about 700ish maybe 800 left over to use on the balt. i have been browsing all over the forums and looking for ideas, having a hard time figuring something out. Give me some help peeps, and if i take your advice ill probably tattoo your forum name on my left ass cheek....okay..not really but ill appreciate the advice.

So far all i have done is simple stuff - Headlight, AVS tail lights, tinted windows, a muffler, and...working on painting the interior nicely. everything else is bone stock..some ideas i have been throwing around is.


Suspension, lowering it.

Performance- Intake, Header, Exhaust, DP all of the above

Audio- Stereo and nice speaker setup, i think im over the whole subwoofer phase..

so far thats all i can think of that would be in that range, i figured for exhaust i could buy one or have one custom made. 2.5 with a different muffler, im starting to regret my muffler style, its an upward bent oval tip.looking for something LESS attractive.

any ideas appreciated!

I'd do audio. Always gotta have some nice sound while you're driving down the road. I'm with you, I'm over the whole subwoofer phase as well.

whatever u gotta do, and u may get to do it again with bush's plan to give us more money so our nation as a whole will be in even more debt, but thats another subject lol.

I got my vibe lowerd in MN and rallyracer has his SS lowered here too. My vibe looks lower than his cobalt and I live in duluth, didnt have a issue for 2 winters so far. Intake and headers would be a good one, but if you do headers plan on getting exhaust in the future if you have a SC, get stage 2 and a 2.9 pulley.
