Really depends on what you want for the car..

You could do quite a bit for either looks or performance.

If you need anything suspension or performance related we can help you decide what would work best for you, feel free to hit us up

Honestly if I had $3k the first thing I would do is make sure my car's full maintanance is up to date. THEN I'll start looking around for mods that might catch my eyes.

I dont mean to sound like a responsible person but I've seen some people putting their life savings into their mods yet their car cant make it from one stop light to the other without road side assistance.

now that we got THAT out of the way...

LED interior lights
HID KIT
