What should I do to my car?
I want to do something to my car for $300 or less just because.

I haven't- worked on my car in a few months and need a weekend project.

So far I have done the following to my R3:

3rd Brake Light Decal
Self Install Window Tint
Self Install Fog Light Tint
Self Install Sirius XM Radio
Self Install Subwoofer
Self Install Interior Blue LED's, License plate LED and Footwell Kit


Here is what I'm thinking:

Mazdaspeed Cold Air Intake
or
Rear Fog Light Brake Light from Japanparts.com
or
LED Daytime Lights (Audi style)
or
Self Install of a Radar Detector with no wires hanging for power source.
or
???


Any ideas?

Remove the brake light decal...its free

lol jk, i hate brake light decals, but to each his own

edit:

from the list you posted above, the radar detector would be the most effective

No real need for a CAI, the S2's have a pretty sweet stock intake system, drop in KN filter if you need to
Forget the "audi" style led lights ... theres a reason its called "audi" style

Lowering springs. I just changed out my shocks/springs and the car feels completely different now. Way more planted.

Well I don't think you can get the jdm rear fog light for under $300. I'm planning to get one soon and priced it out to about $350-400 shipped to my door.

BTW do you have pics of your subwoofer enclosure?
