Under $1000
- G Pipe or Primary Bypass
- Front Strut Brace
- Momo Steering Wheel
- Ilko's 5 Brake Light Mod
$1,000 - $2,000

I'm into the $2,000 and up mods right now. Bilstein HDs and H&R Reds suspension is in there.
Will update you on how that works out once my build is done.

Another one under $1,000 is weight loss. This is mostly free if you discount your time. But even if you junk the heavy carpet for a lightweight one it still only costs about $500. Losing weight makes a huge difference to how it goes, stops and changes direction.

Different car when you're done, $1700

Garrett, everything but the chip. I had that so I went with performance package w/o chip.
https://www.fabspeed.com/964C2_C4_RS.html
I highly recommend it, and pull the seats. Went with GT3 Euro's
Had my car corner balanced today, it weighs 2831 empty.
