what to do..what to do

hey all, I have 1k sitten around that I wanna blow on my 7, I wannna leave 4-500 around for when I need to replace some stuff, vacuum lines, or some valves or selenoids when I figure out my secondary boost problem. my mods are

pettit dp
apexi intake
defi boost gauge

now, my car is a 93 black base, and I really think it would look better with a spoiler and since the 99 spec one, which is the one I like, is waayy to expensive I was gonna spend the 400 on the RB type 2 wing. what do you all think? wing or performance?

thanks

Stevo

The Eibach Pro-Kit was some of the best money I ever spent on my car. If you are looking to only spend around $500, the suspension is not a bad place to look for upgrades.

I'd spend it on a radiator or watertemp gauge.
Racing Beat Springs, and you could find a used spoiler for cheap.

I agree with the glass man, coolant system upgrades for sure! Aluminum radiator and AST, hoses and a systme flush. It is the one area you need to fix even if it ain't broke....yet.

I also plan to autox in the future... sooo I mean I dunno, when the base model is lowered does it look as badass? I dont have 17 inch rims yet and to me a lowered 7 with 17 rims spoilerless looks pretty dope

Depending on the springs, it does more than just lowering. Better handling, reduced wheel hop, etc..

BTW, if you don't install the springs yourself, expect to pay between $150-200 for the install. So you might want to factor that into your fun money.
