Things to do with $2500

[2000GTZ]

Hi. I'm currently only 15 but soon I will be getting my sisters's (she doesn't even drive it!) 2000 Galant GTZ. With 2500 dollars to spend, what do you guys recommend I do to the car? (appearance wise as a priorty...although boosting a few 10-20 hp would be nice too)

Thanks in advance! =)

Drive it as-is and save the money for something else. Seriously. Invest it in blue chip stocks. Buy a certificate of deposit. Anything but dumping it into the car. You won't get any return on the money. If it's a 2000 GTZ, it's just fine as it sits.

You'll thank yourself later.

[Auto-9]

Gimme the cash...I know what's best.

[2000GTZ]

lol guys. come on. im really interested in what i can do with 2500. im leaning towards a body kit and maybe a few engine parts. but im a dumb 15yr old. so you tell me. =)

[Kingman]

quick way:

Rims w/ tires 18" - $1400+
Coilovers - $ 150
Injen Intake - $ 220
RPW Headers - $ 600

$2370

Add in a Carbon Fiber hood for $500 and you are at 2870. BTW all my lister prices should include shipping.

If you want looks, put it into wheels, tint, hiper-white headlights, fogs, dome lights, vanity mirror lights, interior neon lights, new gauges, new shift knob and e-brake to match, pedals, engine dress ups... for performance, intake, muffler, tip. You have to decide what you want to accomplish with that budget. Weigh what changes you think will get you the most enjoyment. I would not go with a body kit b/c that's a huge budget and that's just me. I think the stock '00 GTZ looks good already. And depending on what wheels and tires, that might be a big expense too. As for other things that you don't see, you might seriously think about replacing the rotors too. The stock ones just suck and if you are experiencing braking vibrations, that should be pretty high on your list as far as safety goes.

I wish I had $2500 to spend on my ride :wink:

[2000GTZ]

how much are installion of body kits?

[Black2k1GTZ]

All depenmds on where you go. Since alot of the body kits for the 8g are based on JDM (japanese) Galants, there is always a space between the top of the bumper and the lights. So if you want that filled then it will be alot more...

That is the funniest shit i heard all day https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif :lauging: :lauging: https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif

i would say;

18" rims $1400
lowering springs + install $500
AEM cai $300
performance muffler + install $200

then $100 worth of decals...lol forget the decals. sign up on paypal and send me your money.
...whats a teenager's car without blue bulbs? gotta clear the corners too.

[WannaGTZ]

Flip out tv with one in each head rest. If not that rims and tint and a system. If you need stuff for a system let me no

[Dave4013]

Just trying to do the guy a favor. I guess when I was 15 (it's hard to remember that far back) I would want to spend the cash too.

I have to laugh when I see some kid driving a Cavalier with a huge aluminum wing and a goofy body kit. In ten years, they'll look at the photos and wish somebody would have kicked their ass for doing that. Unless, of course, they are then driving a Civic with a huge wing and a goofy body kit.

[Tiller]

well, noone os going to talk you outta blowing the money, so you may as well get a nice set of rims and a drop... tat will pretty much eat up your $2500...

[efiLnikcuFeciN]

Just buy a used rims but new tires and that'll save u more money, so u can get more stuff https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif

[pinoyesv6]

ok guys he's only 15....think 15 year old.

tints 80-200
stereo with the bass bass booty mix cd in it 800
different spoiler 300
and some rims for 1k
muffler for some sound 200

[jacuZZi]

Lowered The Car, Get some new shocks,Get some tints , Intake, And exhaust, and save the rst of the money https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif
Gd Luck!

[Supernova]

I have $80. XD

I want to do so much, but I have so little...

I think at 15 , you still have 1 yr to research...

Appearance will be better, since when you first start to drive, even a bycicle seems fast already !

[Reelax]

get 18's and drop springs or adjustable springs and if you have anything left, get a muffler and cat back piping. that should get you started just fine. umm you could spend a grip of money on other stuff since u'll never b finished but those are the first 3 things i would do w/ $2500.

I think you will be happy with the performance of the gtz. You arent going to need any more power till you know how to handle it. But if you still want some more power do some tranny work, bullet proof it and throw in a converter. Your alittle short on money for a turbo. And you really wont notice 10 to 20 horse if you havent been driving the car for a while.

Go for a custom interior touch. Buy 250,000 of the old penny gumballs and stuff the interior with them hehe.

Now theres an idea :wink:

[quicksilver22]

hey man, I was at your age about month 1/2 ago. I have money too, but the best thing to do, seriously is to invest it. It wouldn't hurt to tint, or upgrade stereo system and maybe just a lil shiny tip. But I am pretty much in the same situation. Invest it in just a reg. savings account. You'll be glad you did in the long run. :thumbsup:

One a side note, what does a tip do? XD

[J. T. Z.]

I would definitly start with a drop. Then rims (18's or 19's). You might even have enough left over for some tints.

[ozkrow]

first thing is trade in the car..and get something with some aftermarket support..or youll hate yourself later...hehehe...

[2000GTZ]

Thanks guys for all your suggestions. =) Keep 'em coming if you've got more, anything would be appreciated. Now you guys have got me considering just lowering it and tints...hehe. (body kit.. https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif oh well)
