Angry $1200 to spend

I havent used da 1200 yet. I got the short shifter already...so rather than just get the ground effects i should just wait and save for the kit?

I'd say save for the kit, or get the gps thing. The reason is because the kit and the gps are always showing or being used. The lights are cool, but they are only usable at night. Plus, if you don't have the money for the kit now, you are't going to get it by spending what you do have...

boooo! don't get rims. the stocks ones aren't bad. For someone who (at least what I have gathered) hasn't done many if any mods, do something else. the exhaust isn't bad, plus you can find a good price on those. But like I said earlier, I'd get the nav thing. Then go from there.

Hmmm... What's done to your 8 already?

If it's stock, I would go for suspension. With 1200, you should be able to get a nice spring/shock combo and sways. And if you can find a good deal, you'll have some money left over.

You'll definately enjoy driving the 8 with a good suspension setup, rather than an extra 10 horses, if you go with an AP, intake, exhaust IMHO.

NOTE: I said In my honest opinion...

Edit: My bad.. I guess I didn't fully read your first post in regards to what choices you had listed... so if suspension isn't in your best interest, just disregard my post.

I'm so happy you decided to spend $1200.

Anything you give me will be special<3

But maybe headerback exhaust that'd be nice
or Accessport!

Cobb AP and the exhaust of your choice or a gps. Depends on if you really need a gps or want your 8 to sound better.
