I'm spending 350 on an IPOD (for car audio)
I want to spend 1000 tops on audio (subs,speakers,amp,head) I need suggestions on which is good.
I need a new windsheild and my dads helping me with that and the exhaust he's helping me with too. So, now I have around 900$ that I can spend on anything car related i'm thinking about a tune-up. Whats the average price on one of those. I also want the products to prep my car for paint.

i bought a new engine for that  1000 for stereo will get you more stereo than you would need in a celica. for a totally solid system i'd say $750 tops and maybe even down to $500 if you work a few really good deals. (That said my stereo cost around $500 and I don't have my sub yet which is why I would say 750) i'd spend a large chunk of the $900 on getting a mint paint job and removing any dings or other flaws in the body. assuming the engine doesn't need attention just my .02 |

oh and i saw 30gb ipods on sale at Sam's today for $328 328$ American, i'm Canadian =P The car is getting painted for free, and i'm spending a great sum of this shitty summer prepping for the paint. All, I need to do is supply the paint/primer. I'm going to either black, or a dark metallic grey. |

i'd sell my celica and use the combined money to buy a CRX...lol.
what about wheels? wheels play a big part in how your car looks. have you also thought about suspension?

you never know with some people. have you considered getting a short shifter? and if you're getting wheels what about drop springs and good struts?

i'm lowering it, window tinting, i'm thinking of going with hyperblack rims, like a BBS look alike kinda... cause the car is going to be a dark metallic silver.
