Who here gets to spend there tax return on there car?

I do !!
So throw some opionions at me.What do you think?I just didn't want to do the 4th gen thing everyone is doing that.(No offence to you guys with 4th gen seats they do look good but I don't like leather and the cloth ones don't look much diffrent than my old ones.)I just loved these.I plan on redoing the back ones to match soon.

Those do look really nice. I get to spend my return on my car, but I don't know what I'm gonna get. Headers, TB, Airfoil, Pulleys, 4th gen seats... decisions decisions!

Tell me those seats are under $600 and I think I made my choice.

I think my tax return is going towards a spoiler, though... Ah well, it all goes to the same place, right?

you must get a big tax return if you're going to buy that. I bet it'll go over $15k. I wish I had $15k.

Anyway, I'm sure I'll spend at least some of my tax return on the car. In addition to some SLP siamesed runners, a wiring harness and some interior crap, I'm going to need some of it for fixing my transmission issues. I may just pony up the coin and buy the T56 from Spohn, although I'd really, really, really like to get posi into the car first.

I spent part of mine to pay off the Camaro. Then I just ordered my Ulta Lite gauges, bought an air compressor to work on the car more easily, and after I pay off the lawyer, I might have enough to get the exhaust I want. Or maybe thats the lawyer will get the money she wants.......

Well I guess I'll have to break down and admit I spent a fortune on these,just over$1000.(which is what some people are giving for a used set of seats)
Yes I got the floor mats from e-bay, but I don't see any others on there right now,keep an eye out for them there on there all the time for a buy it now price of $39 i think.
The paint,I don't know,,when I got it repainted 2 years ago I had them paint it the same color it was origanally.
Feel fre to copy anything you like,,just remember to bring the $$$
here is a current pic from yesterday.
