if you have even the slightest doubt about keeping this car, don't bother spending the $$ on modding it.
too many people I've seen on this site that have that sliver of doubt. sure enough, they always end up selling their 'tour, even after dumping money on mods during that period of doubt.
makes me sad really to see members go byebye.

however, with that money, I'd get a stainless catback exhaust, and lower it with some aftermarket springs and struts. with labor, those would definitely eat up the $2k.
