Got $75, what should I buy for the ride?

Post by Blanco_Diablo »

Got some extra cash for mods (birthday last week) here are some of my options:• Chrome Lugs to match trim rings on steelies + random accessories• Hella Supertone Horns• Weathertech vent visors (would help in the rainy NW)• Re-buy projektors headlight covers (broke in accident)• Cosmo Short Ram I think I am leaning towards the Hellas, however I am open to opinions.TAG, you're it....

+another for the SRI. With the hood, it only makes sense. @Keithvibe - Is your HID kit in the for sale section?

Thanks everyone for the replies. In the past two days I've had two close calls with people pulling out in front of me that didn't seem to even hear my horn. I think I might have to do that mod first. Don't worry though, the hood will be functional soon! I'll try and get the SRI done this spring when the rain slows down a bit.

Safety comes first,I would agree with you and get a new set of horns then.You don't want another accident with that sexy new paint job.

I'd go to the junkyard and pick up 2 horns from old GM, like Chevy Caprice. They sound very good and can be installed in minutes http://forums.genvibe.com/zero...age=5
