$2000.00 on what?

Well, What should I spend 2000.00 on?

Im stuck in a lease, I'm not sure what the terms are on modding, so maybe someone can update me on the rules.

As far as modding goes. I dont want a ricer. If I get an exhaust, I want it as much as a performance but as far from a ricer sound as possible.

Performance is the #1 priority on my list, Styling is second, But some new headlights would be nice :P

Anyways, Just looking for opinions, What would you guys do with the $$

thanks.

you can mod on a lease , i dont know what happens when you sell the car but if you refinance it your fine, just dont do anything to out of the oridinary so you can remove it if they want you to when the lease is up

keep all your stock parts. i'm going to say it's almost not worth it to spend that much money on a leased car unless you plan on keeping the car afterwards. you'll have to take everything off, and many times they don't like you to mod a leased car at all. technically, it's owned by the dealer, or bank, or whoever, and you're just borrowing it.

check your paperwork to see if it says anything.

don't you dare spend $2000 on someone else's car.

I'd blow all that money on hookers before I'd mod a leased car

Im going to have it for 4 years, well. thats how long the lease is for, so I might as well enjoy it while I have it, I have the money so thats not a problem.

Wish I would have not gotten the lease now though

put it in the bank. save your money for the 4 years and when this car is gone, go out and buy a new camaro or something. spending your money on this car is COMPLETELY WASTING YOUR MONEY.

I agree to enjoy it, but don't waste your cash on that. You could invest 2k and make another 500 dollars + in like a year.

they will make you remove everything when the lease i over, your borrowing the car, and plus they will charge you if they have to be the ones to take it off...basically dont spend it on it...only if your gunna keep the car afterwards, or else its waste of cash...seriously, but hey if you wanna mod it a bit, buy a gmpp intake and some ss/sc springs, that will cost you no more than 350, and it'll be a nice improvement, and maybe even the ss/sc exhaust, all are nice mods with out spending to much, and arent as noticeable...since the leasing company isnt really gunna notice a exhaust(since you'll still have the quiet stock muffler), and they wont say **** about the gmpp(take it off and sell it if you dotn keep the car though) and if they bitch about the springs, tellm it came like that, they can run the part # and see its a GM part, and just blame it on a mistake made by GM

while your at it throw an m62 on there and tell them gm goofed. it's an honest mistake to accidentally supercharge a car right?

Yah dude, don't spend anything on it since its leased.

Save that cash or spend it on something that will be more worthwhile.
