O.P. Need some Car ideas.
I need some ideas for my car!

So, I'm working on my good Ol' Cop Car and I want your input!

What Mod/Add-on/Upgrade should I do to my car?

Heres the current stats on my car that I've upgraded/added-on:

Pioneer CD/WMA/MP3 200Watt Deck
760Watt Pioneer Amplifer
2 8" 300 Watt Sub-Woofers

Now, I've got the final part on order for my Car-puter!

7" Touch Screen, 1Ghz Athlon, 256mb Ram, 40gb HD, Geforce MX440 64mb, Sound Blaster Live 5.1, Tri-Wireless (3 Wi-Fi Cards).
It will play Music through the car's sound system, Video, GPS, Rear View Camera.

Now, What should I do next? I dont want to spend too much but I want to further the car. The two big options I've throught of are Fog Lights or Tinted Windows.... Any other ideas?

I'll say this much, Glass Packs, Are out of the question.

Are you focusing on Audio stuff or  do you want Performance parts...?  Basically do you want your car to be all show no glow... or all about speed?

It can go either way but I dont want to go overboard on the speed/performance parts. Besides it's pretty fast as it is.

I think some window tinting, or a good paint job that looks police-ish, but cool :banana:

How much gas do you spend in a week?

Anyways, I don't know if your car already has had a moon roof or not. But, if it hasn't, it could a good upgrade.

I really don't know if it is really a good idea though :p
But, in MTV's Pimp My Ride, I once saw a car that was modified to be having a moon roof, and a sensor that will close the moon roof automatically if it is raining :p
I just think that it's very cool :p

Oh, and btw, your "Car-puter" sounds very cool :gfdrin:

Any pics if it is done?

Paint Job!

Thats what I should do. Then I'll hook up the window tinting.

:shocked: Shit!!! wj I hope you plan on running that on a drag strip, you'll prob run LOW 15's, maybe even high 14's. 

wj, what are you running in that thing, as far as the engine goes?

Seems like an old engine...

Anyway, I think this whole car modding business is silly. :P
