From what I have been reading on css.net, go with the mounts because they will save you money by making your tranny last much longer. Tint is only appearance.

Personally I suggest controlling and protecting what you have now before think about increasing HP. Thats my train of though as of right now.

But hey people, feel free to correct me as I am a newbe in all to the Tuner world.

do it right the 1st time

lower your car sportlines for shure! 290$ or poly control arm mounts for less wheel hop 199$ or and ecu intense tune extra hp200$ cheap for the difference it makes motor mounts Are ok but id wait because it feel solid mounts doesnt make anything last longer but possibly your tires because it will be sitting on jack stands because the transmission case in these cars are weak

I usually say that do tint very first thing but since you dont have a whole lot of cash then i would do the mounts becuase they will be better for the tranny keeps all your stuff from moving and puts more power to the wheels

Any car is $100 for tint around here. Sounds like your place is smoking some serious crack. Get the mounts anyways.

Tint seems a bit pricey. I'd go with tint just because I feel naked without it haha.

there are a lot of things you can do for under $400. what are your ultimate plans with the car??? drive is fairly stock, some power mods, handling mods, ect???

id deffinitly go with at least the tranny mounts. short throw shifter is nice to have. could also get a cobra heat exchanger and bwoody brackets, although being stock ish motor you wouldnt see that big of an increase. if your looking for handling, grab some lowering springs and swaybars.
