Money to blow...

[xzeppelin_manx]

i've got a few hundred bucks to blow. should i get eibach (1)lowering springs or (2)shiftlight, whisperlid, and tinted windows. which do you think will give me more enjoyment? anything else i should get instead?

I would go with tint and lid, F-bodies look great with tinted windows and you can't go wrong with the lid(or so I have heard) I don't knwo about the light, unless u mount it cool, I think it looks kinda cheezy, if you want another cheap mod, look at BMR strut tower braces. Just my ¢2.

I agree, I would go with the whisper lid and tinted windows, but I would save your money on a shift light. I think they look cheezy also, unless you have a highly modified car and then a shift light would help.

i think the shift light looks cool on the dash in the corner against the pillar. dont want the whole 5' tach, just the light. my friend used to have one and it was kind of fun to mess with.

if you go with the lowering springs, that will be ~$225, then (to get the most out of them) you have to buy new struts/shocks that can dampen them. that's another ~$300 (these are just averages, people, don't flame me). if you just slap the springs on, your gonna end up with a ride like all those slammed ricer, bouncin around the road.

your probably better off with the lid and tint, etc... better throttle response and a nice appearance mod. only my 2 cents

Well tinted windows are around $200 up to $255 for camaros, plus they will charge around $100 to remove old tint if its there.

Lid and engine bay brace. engine bay brace stabilizes front end in braking and cornering. Lid gets more hp/tq and throttle response.

Go with a strut tower brace. The car's handling is sooo much better with it. I got the Hotchikis one (BMR wouldn't fit because of my alternator getting in the way)

DOJO2000, I was going to get lowering springs, either eibach or G2. If i just get the springs, its going to be bouncy? I was hoping for really firm all around.

Yeah I didnt get the whole 5" tach. I just got the actual shift light and mounted on the bottom pillar close to the dash. It helps out with consistency. I'd get the light, lid and whatever else.

got my firebird tinted for $125 at Altamere, got a lifetime warranty and double limo on the hatch
looks good, there was one bubble, and they guy is going to retint that window for free

[xzeppelin_manx]

i've decided against the springs, too much hastle. got an appointment to get the tint put on, 20% all the way around, plus the stripe on the windshield for $160 with a lifetime warranty. anything else you guys recommend i get for a couple hundred bones? (tax returns kick A$$)

[ravenp]

Dude, dont' go 20% all the way around. Put the darkest they'll give you on the back window! Limo tint or whatever, i have 5%

1) Darker in the back is better for hiding what you got back there, ie : system.

2) Darker looks better and it's legal on the back.

3) See points one and two [img]smile.gif[/img]

Also, pay the extra to have one solid piece for the hatch. They might try to do it in 2...then you have a big line accross the back. Mine was 20$ more to have one solid piece ordered.

Good luck.

Anyway, The shiftlight in a cool mounting position, on ls1.com they sell Harlan shiftlights, they are awesome and i think like 40 bone or something, i have seen peeps mount them in the defroster vent for the driver window, looks pretty pimp tight. :cool:
