Anyone getting mods with their tax refund?

Do any of us get a refund, for that matter.

Finishing up on engine mods, so I'm thinking about getting a Profec-b, 99 lip and rear wing, some stainless hardpiping, and let Ryan do my J-spec taillights. How about you guys?

Better than X-mas where you have to ask for car presents, and
It's the only time of the year we have play-money, unless you want to pay off the credit card. (Yeah right..)

I don't think I've ever had a refund. Refunds are bad anyway. You paid to much in taxes during the year. It's not like the government pays you interest on the money they owe you.

Yeah but if you break even on your taxes using witholding allowance changes, you'll most likely have piddled away that annual lump sum on food and other stuff anyways, but on a monthly basis so you don't detect it unless you budget for it. It's sort of like "forced savings" but you're not earning interest, I agree. But I estimated my taxes for this year and decided to go refund because of the car, and I'll be quite happy to take that pink/green lady liberty IRS check, endorse it, then drop in the bank and get on the horn to Jason and Mike at the Store.

Buy a house, guys. Drive a beater if you have to, but buy a house if you can afford the down payment.

I totally agree. A house will pay you back in more ways than you know...that's if you don't buy one in the projects.

I get $650 back Whoo Hoo! Alas it goes towards my VISA which is already high because my FD NEEDED a rebuilt engine, port, Cosmo fuel pump, polished wastegate, M2 toe links, Greddy SMIC, Clutch, 3mm seals, Silicon hoses, HKS EVC EZ, Although I managed to pay for my Apex'i Power FC cash....I guess I already had my fun

No more mods till Summer

I promised my GF

This just in!!! I get to spend my tax return on a new fuel pressure regulator. Man am I happy. Forget wasting money on shiny new parts. Just wait for some off the wall part to bust and spray fuel everywhere. At least thats what I did. Thanks alot to my FD.

Mine will perfectly cover my new clutch and lightened flywheel, which is all that I need. Its a beautiful thing how if you leave your car sitting for 5 months during winter you will have the money to actually drive it during the summer...haha.
