Save your money. When you want to spend it, spend it like a big boy. Seriously tho, there are a few alright things you can do with 300 dollars... but if you save it, then do some real good things. For example.. you could buy a cheap stereo system with it... or save it and get a real good one. Depends what you want to do. But you want our opinions and mine is to save it and spend big when you can.

Id save money and get my system first, then make it look good with maybe some rims and a body kit, then make it fast with supercharger or something //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

umm...depending on what you are looking for. no rice is what i would agree on, keep it clean and no park benches on the trunk please. if you want fast, your not gonna get it with 300 bones. only a turbo/ supercharge will make it fast, everything else will just make it a little peppier/quicker. if you want it to look good, its not gonna look good with 300 bones. you can get a decent system for 300. i personally dont care for a huge system, i just need something decnet. with 300, you can get yourself a decnet set of subs with an amp and box used. possibly a HU also all for 300. everything else, you best save up for...car parts are expensive. what color is your car?

estimates:

Music mods

HU - 100+

subs with box - 100+

amp 75+

look good mods

wheels w/ tires - 800+(17s)

body kit - 450+ and then paint prolly 300+

tinted windows - 150+

smoked or clear headlights, sidemakers, taillights - 300

suspension mods

lowering springs - 150

lowering shocks - 300+

go fast mods

intake - 80+

exhaust system - 350+

high flow headers - 150+

turbo/supercharger - 2000+

now there are some estimated prices for parts from probably the lowest you will find them and some being used some being new depends. good luck, save some money cuz youre gonna need it.
