1. Buy the bumper. Install it unpainted to save some money. An unpainted body kit is better than nothing.
2. Go to autozone and buy purple headlight bulbs, looks like HID's and costs less. IF you always keep your high beams on people will think they are HID's, and you will see more of the road. If autozone doesn't have purple bulbs, just spray paint the headlight housing with a little purple.
3. Don't buy lowering springs, just cut a few coils off of yours.
4. Make a deal with your friend and put the wheels on lay away. When you have enough money you can put nice rims on the rear wheels and leave steelies up front. This is good for drag racing ( I know cause I watched all teh fast adn the furius movies at least three times each). WHen you have saved up your money you can put the front wheels on and maybe even buy a 5 inch exhaust tip at pepboys.
Hey- Don't rag on the kid. He's alright, he's just got a bit to learn. I'm sure all of you were equally dumb/boy ricer when you were 16-17-18.
Look, you've got a mirage. Repaint the bumper, enjoy your good gas mileage and save your money for when you get a better car. If the mirage looks good you might even be able to sell it for slightly more than you expect to. Leave the steelies, do not get the HIDs or I will personally remove them at the St. Pete Meet, and don't worry about the suspension set up on this car. Save the treats for the next one.
