Default Got some extra $$$....

So i got some extra cash was trying to use up and i figure i would dress up my engine bay. I already got a brand strut bar that cant fit because of my aftermarket intake, any other suggestions and or pics?

I used to have Ultra bar. It fit with my injen intake. Go with a Cusco or GT Spec brace (like mine). More blue accents if you want. I got a red deep cycle battery from Stinger for my system. Kinetic $ell$ blue batterie$. Are you looking for what to do with your $?

I wanted the gtspec but it was on back order.I definitely wanna do some more blue accents and brighten up the engine some more. Thanks for the recommendations. I'm doing the the sound system next and as i said the engine just kinda bored and wanna do something new. My next big purchase will probably be a supercharger kit if i keep the car that long

I agree, buy her a new purse so she can save her money for a new exhaust and front lip. J/K

Like others have already said, a GT Spec struct bar would look good with its blue accents. Try Cusco as well. Maybe the F-Sport CF engine cover, cf engine panels, ARC oil cap + ARC radiator cap. Good luck.

Im in the same boat myself. Haven't found a decent price for them. I don't think any of are sponsors carry them. At least not the ones I have asked. Hard to find for Lexus models. I will keep you updated.

Just FYI....ARC is out of business and you can't see the radiator cap. I have an HKS radiator cap that only I know is there. Here is my motor....
