Default What to get?

I'll be getting anywhere from $900-$1200 (pending a sale) to play with. Just curious if anyone has any input on what I should do with it. I was thinking CAI, TB spacer and cat back.

Other options would be a new front bumper, rims, chip. Just looking for some input on brands or even what to get. So many options, not enough money :(

Well since you had mentioned front bumper I would go with a good quality front bumper (LoD, Poison Spyder, etc.) from majority of threads on here CAI TB and cat back don't do much for these engines. Depending on which bumper you get you may be able to afford that and a chip depending on the amount you get.

You got lost on the way to the WRX forum!

All kidding aside... it depends what you do with your Jeep.

I've had my eye on the Aberle front bumper (http://aberleoffroad.com/jk_bumpers.html). I was also thinking of eventually putting on some Bushwacker-like flares at some point too.

Go with a superchip and front bumper These are the two most solid mods on the list.
Everything else is just for looks or sound.
Although, I must admit I have a CAI and cat back because I love the sound...

Yes!!!! I have a 4" on a 2 door and it's just a matter of time before your drive shafts give out!!! I have front and rear COAST driveshafts and I don't gotta worry about breaking them on the trail. Run ya about $420ish per shaft I think? Order from northridge!

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Well i see you had a forum about an accident where you damaged your bumper, so it must be banged up, go with a nice front and rear bumper, if u want to save money check out kijiji(i see your from cornwall) and get used ones and get them painted or paint um yourself, you can save at least half!!

But yeah driveshaft would be a great idea for your WRX...sorry Jeep...

rock on brotha

I would say a programmer and a front drive shaft. Programmer most useful and driveshaft because you will more than likely need it at some point
