Alright, lets say a guy comes up to you and says 'Nice car... what if I give you 15,000 dollars to do what ever you want to do with it. But it must be on this car. If you use even a penny of it on something else, I will hunt you down.' What would you do?

Take the money and run,seriously.I've spent 8-9 grand and I don't have much Did you get some sort of sponsorship or something?

I would take it and use it for Gas and Maintenance/repairs on that car only until the money is gone.

I would probably get (guessing prices):Swap to 2zz engine - $?Supercharger - $4000Conversion to manual tranny - $1500 ??New clutch - $?Headers - $30018" wheels of some sort wrapped with Toyo tires - $1200Tein S-Techs - $200GM body kit - $300-400Vader style carbon fiber hood - $500Recaro Racing Seats - $1000Nitrous System - $500Full Alpine system (2 12" subs and all 4 speakers) - $?Should be roughly $15,000. Not much else I could do to it.

I would use it as a down payment on a new car and go into the witness relocation program.

I would use it to pay off this car.

wow $15,000 is a lot to spend on the car...i never imagine i get that much hahabut if i do i would do1. projector retrofit using TL bixenon/replica clear lense - roughly $1200 for everything.2. sound deaden the whole car from head to toe. well from ceiling to floor - $?? maybe a few thousand?3. a nice in-dash gps system and some new speakers for the car - $maybe a few thousand?4. sway bars - $300'ish?5. supercharger from tc - $4000?6. a layer of v-kool tint all around - roughly about $800that's all i want or can think of for now

Put a Chevy small block in the back seat.

I'd wonder why someone is giving me $15k for my Vibe. I'd be leary of an indecent proposal sort of scenario.

sport edition KV5 wheels in silver 18x8 with some good tires (a member here has them and they just look brilliant)HIDs/projector kit whatevernew suspension and springsbrembo slotted rotors/brakesreplace head unit with the factory option DVD navi system, as well as upgrade mids and tweeters, plus sound deadeningthen maybe a short ram intake just for fun, and bank the rest towards paying the rest of the car off and fuel.

pay off my car. it's still spent on the car....

$15k would turn my 03 vibe into a 09 Matrix

Wait, you said "it had to be on this car." Go get a damn ziploc and duct tape the money to the roof of the car!!! That way it will be "on the car." Then, drive to a police station and get the man arrested for threatening you. Then, while he's in jail, steal his wife too!!!

I would have the car converted to a plug in electric hybrid with a small diesel to run the generator. If I went with the type of conversion that maintained the current transmission, I would have that replaced with a 6 speed manual with better gearing to help with mileage. Have a solar array added to the roof to help recharge. Replace as much of the sheet metal as I could with carbon fiber to lighten it up, a set of narrower, aluminum wheels for better mileage and better traction in the snow, a new head unit, and vent visors for the windows.
