How to spend $$$?

[adblink182]

ok I've saved up roughly $800 and I getting ready to put the money into my car as spring gets here, i finally have a decent looking car thats worth putting money into, unlike that red sunfire I was driving around. (have a Grand Prix GT, very dark green, black windows, overall a dark looking car)

now heres the rules, anyone starts talkin about "ricers" or "rice rockets" or whatever I'll kick you in the balls () thats NOT what I'm going for, and I already have a V6 3.8L engine....its got more balls then any of those ricers and it drinks gas, so I'm not really looking at doing anything to the engine right now...

I've thought of a few options....first, its all about the sound Right now I have the deck, amp and (1) sub. I wanted to add another one...I have a Cerwin Vega HED 12" SVC

I could either go with 2 brand Phoenix Gold subs plus box and that will cost me around $600...and I would only have 200 left to do something else to my car (not very much)

or, I could go this way, spend $120 for another Cerwin Vega + $40 for the box (off of someone)...so that way I will have 2 subs (maybe not as good as the phoenix gold ones) and only spend $160......meaning I would have $640 left

now things that I was looking at buying for the car is black headlight covers ($80), gunmetal euro taillights ($280), neon underkit dark blue ($200), tailpipe tipes ($130), very brignt bulbs for my fog lights ($50)

so if I went that way I would of spent about $900 for everything (I could save the extra $100)

what do u think? anything you would change/add? I was thinking about looking at prices for a new figerglass spolier?

Recommend you stay away from the headlight covers unless you like not seeing where you're going. GP headlights suck as it is. Plus, depending where you live, they may be illegal.

Headlight cover's are only for daytime use and not to be left on at night.

ok how about forget about the ext for now....

what could I do to the engine for about $500 so if I pulled up to an identical grand prix GT I would have the edge?

ok....

what is Intense PCM?

CAI = cold air intake, I heard these things do hardly nothing?

and I'm guessing U-Bend delete means run cut out the ubend in the exhaust and make it a true duel exhaust?

after all that, how much HP gain am I looking at?

cold air intakes are better. colder, denser air burns better. you will feel the difference. intense pcm, is a new computer for your car. ubend delete. you kinda have the right idea. if you went true duals tho, i would put in an x-pipe. you would definately have an edge if you went up against a stock gp the beauty of it, is that you will then have a sleeper.
