Do you have a particular plan for your car?

Thing is you don't want to just spend money just to spend money. You should have a goal and a budget.

Flyy, im not getting any turbo kit, its a dayly driver, and we have winter over here (not good for turbo), brakes are good enaught for now i dont have enaught power to need bigger brakes, but for the headlight its a good idea, maybe i should get the halo projector with a good HID kit, and for my budget its +/- 500 per month until im satisfied with my car and for plan, i want to put it all black, so maybe i should go get my window tinted

yea well thats what ive heard, most people over here with turbo car they have to either remove the intecooler or get a heater, its because at -25c, -30c the air is to dense so it blows up turbos and engines, dont know hif it true or not but idd belive it, (it makes sens)
