I need to know where i could get some affordable mods for under 50 bucks each. I'm only a high school student so its kinda hard i gotta scrounge for cash. If you guys could help that would be great. I already got reverse indiglo gauges and led lights and i got a system (which is still being built) but some help on this would be apprecicated.

affordable mods...hmm let me see. me and 2true are going to work on making many DIY or how to tutorials on a bunch of mods.
lets see affordable. you can do a search on any of these topics...
CAI should not cost you more than $50...
Paint your dash pieces : Cost of paint
Clear your corners : Free
Spoiler : under $50 if you shop eBay
Magnecor Ignition wires : $59 from optauto.com
Levoc Shift Knob : I got mine off of eBay for $40...but ones with the o/d button are more in the $80 range
Engine dress up kit : $20-50
New headlight bulbs
there are a lot of little things that you can do...and a lot more things you can do, most cost more than $50 though. are you more into performacne or show? or both like me

seth, how can you get a CAI for under 50 bucks? the only place that has an MAS Adapter around here wants 29.95 for it, or it could 39.95. and then youll need everything else, and i cant find everything needed for less than 100 bucks. please help me out, cuz this is the next thing im doin, and i'd like to save 50-some bucks
p.s.- sorry for interrupting your post, but i figured it might help other ppl out as well

well you can the adaptor + filter off of eBay for $24.95 then get yourself that integra piping for the integra for around $30 off of eBay or I saw the one pipe from the civic that you would buy at atuozone for $40 for only $20 on eBay

not sure...you just need one with piping like this one ('http://cgi.aol.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1871980742')
this one ('http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6770&item=1876338381') would work if you cut it up some and this one ('http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33621&item=1876283992') the same one from autozone
check out my sig for pics of the pipes you need...

i just finished building my CAI for exactly 33 dollars
i bought a 95 del sol ram intake, and then a 4" to 3" pipe converter from home depot. it works perfectly, sounds burly as shit, and gets some compliments.
