$200 to spend on a mod...

As the title says. So fare I have a hardwired V1, clear bumper reflectors and chrome corner bulbs. I have the car pretty well planned out and budgeted. Its between a DICE, ZHP knob & Alcantara boot, intake, matte grill and fender gills or save toward a bigger mod.

Save for SSK or coils.

DICE was a great setup for me. I love it. But I would say with the color of your car, some matte black grills and gills would look awesome. Either one would be a good choice. Flip a coin and go for it.

ZHP knob & Alcantara boot, for what it is the knob makes a big difference in the shift feel department

i agree, save for the ssk...it'll make your car almost feel brand new, not really, just do it. it's one of the "must have" mods on these cars.

I'll put that money on my "when VANOS decides to go to ****" savings account.

I agree, the ZHP knob makes a big difference. However, unless you have other alcantara pieces in your car, I would recommend getting the leather shift boot instead. Having just the shift boot in Alcantara makes it look out of place. Just my

I agree, I'm spoiled by my wheel, e-brake, boot and knob all covered in alcantara... I feel if you were to buy one alcantara piece, you'd soon want to replace a lot more parts in alcantara. Just get a leather ZHP knob and save the rest for an SSK to go with it

Matte black grills, I did mine over the weekend and they are awesome. Save the zhp knob and alcantara for when you get your SSK

My car is ZCP to the wheel and the E Brake is Alcantara. Planning on doing the E Brake boot eventually as well.
