Default What to do with the GSR...ideas

Well Christmas is coming up soon and I have no clue what I want. Not sure if I should go into the engine yet for cams and whatnot.

Some ideas I have thought of:
Compustar alarm
tinting
SAFC II
IPAC 2215(not even car related)
Possibly new wheels
Short Shift



I know you guys wanna spend your afternoon thinking about this

BTW, I already have I/H/E/C shift ****, springs..

I have to disagree on the tint. If done by a pro tint can totally change the appearence of a car. Especially a black beauty like this one. MMMMMMM very nice.......

Why not spend a tad more and just get a VAFCII ... VAFC is the same thing but with vtec control. Either way you gotta tune both.

Ahh sorry my email notification hadn't been working.....

I am getting a tint this thursday morning. 20% all the way around. Got a damn good deal from a guy on this board. I'm not doing it just cause i want to, it gets freakin hot here in GA.

I meant to say the VAFC II, not the safc. That is still up there on the list. Right now i'm leaing towards a compustar spread spectrum alarm. I just can't find where to buy them

I still have the stock ambers, i was just doing the tinted clear corners for a little cause it is a change. Yes, stock ambers look very sexy, but i wanted to be different for a change...

Also...I so love my swirlies I dont know if I could give them up. I would only swap for something nice like bronze volks, but that would be way out of my price range.

You might want to check the classifieds forum or post in the Audio / Security forum for the alarm.

Ever use froogle.com? ("frugal") It's like dealtime, but maybe by google.

id say either ...prices may vary

find a used oem kit = $400 depending on market
35% tint + hid kit + jdm red valve cover = $600
new wheels = $depends
CF hood w/ cf mirrors = $550
S2S1 cams w/ ported gsr intake mani w/ obd1 p72 w/ hondata =$1000
ITR tranny w/ new clutch & flywheel...u will luv the shorter gearing = $too much

Got a tint today 20% for very cheap. I'm happy. I already have OEM sides and front lip. Might be hard to see the sides in that pic. I would, however enjoy the rear pieces. I don't mind my 9005 cool blue conversion for $20, so i'll prob save the money on the HID's.

Not sure if I should pick up a VAFC II now. I keep hearing about hondata hondata hondata. I know that is better but I don't know when down the road i'll start doing real mods to the car. The VAFCII would probably suffice now. Especially when I found it for 324 new, with free shipping!
