TCL Challenge. Could you make this 14 year old senior citizen car fun/cool for under $4k total (including car purchase)?

[BRealistic]

Let's assume it really is a solid car with nothing wrong.
And we buy it for $2,000.

Brainstorm time.

[Lwize]

Any HD parts from the Police CV that'll fit?
Cop suspension bits?

[22AudiQ]

Spacers.
Flat black rattle can.
Cut the springs.
Tint windows.
Bosozoku style exhaust with straight pipes.


BAM.

[J-Tim]

Get some suspension, brake and induction parts from the "sportier" version of CV or Mustang. I am fairly sure those could be had very cheap second-hand or refurbished.

[freedo84gti]

put a bigger cam in it and straight pipe it

[Shin Akuma]

Well, in MD that car is already cool; just need to tint the windows and get a better sound system.

The lincoln is on air, you can twist the bag mounts to make it a touch lower, change the wheels, big and dished, add a stereo and cruise. Will it be "cool" no, but it won't be completely lame.

[GTE77]

Black Interceptor steelies, Light Tint, Tinted tails.

Or you could.....

[mike02467]

so basically you have $2000 to spend on mods...

for me: stiffer suspension, lower a bit, tint the windows, bangin' sound system.

Just being facetious about your minor oversight.

[TM87]

Nicer wheels, tint and stereo. Done

[cougar]

For $4k I could fly Jack Baruth down here to drive it for me. That'd be fun as hell.
