Got a ???? up for grabs. What is most important to buy for my focus with a $1000? Rims, intake, exhaust, headers, or interior upgrades??? I'm open for opinions!!!

it depends on you really

rims helps the appearance more then anything
tint looks nice as well
a intake gives a few extra hp
exhuast gives a nice sounds and a few hp
headers give you a few hp
really depends on what you want show or go

Depends which way you want to go. Go or show. $1000 for rims and tires is going to be pretty tight if you are getting brand new ones. You could easily get an intake and exhaust and maybe a good set of tires. Believe it or not, a good set of tires could very well be one of the mods you can do.

i say get some nice wheels, on avg with tires itll be aroudn 800 bucks, and with the reamining 200 do either a cai or get your windows tinted
also if you dont care about the windows you can get some lowering springs

Well I like to start with the exhaust. 4-1 FS race header with 2 1/4 flex and a MBRP catback exhaust. Then 65mm throttle body with an CAI. That whole setup prolly run you over 1000 but if you look around you can find some good deals like I got my used race header and flexpipe for $125. OR you could just save the 1000 and go SC or turbo. In any case moding your car is fun no matter what you choose to do.

That sounds like a great deal!

As soon as you get them (before you buy the tires) have a good tire shop inspect them to make sure they are true (not warped etc.).

Another benefit you get from upgrading your wheel package is that it will allow you to install larger discs. If you want to upgrade your horsepower, you need to add some more stopping power too.

Good luck!
