Okay i got about 500$ to spend. What to get


do not give me the option to save up for more. I want something for 500$ visual performance or w/e.
I was thinking rims. But you guys have any other ideas?

You dont need a canned tune for a stock car...unless you have an extra 300ish laying around for a dyno tune
