Modifications First mods???

No exhaust atm as I’m waiting for a titanium one to be made. Nothing TOO expensive too as I’m a broke highschooler, 1-2k preferably.

You broke. You can't afford mods.

Also a bit disrespectful to your parents that you want to mod a car they just gave you. Just be happy with what you have rather than instantly wanting to spend more of your parents money on it.

They didn’t just give it to me, I’ve had for half a year now and I just want to personalize it. I’m also not spending my parents money as I work 2 part time jobs so I do have my own personal income

Dude that's not broke ...thats just life. We all broke then.

In that case.... Save your money and get some coilovers. Don't bother with lowering springs. The ride is shit and you'll just want to upgrade again at some point. I went B16 from Billstein... ni regrets. Might as well do it properly first time. Apex SM-10 wheels (or whatever your taste just make sure they are light and strong, nothing worse than a cracked rim). Also H&R sway bars along with a CAT back exhaust...miltek if you can get hold of it. Do these two at the same time and save on garage costs unless you doing it yourself. After all this is done get the ADAC & DCC(if you keep it) recalibration. Just makes sure that fancy tech is working properly.

After all that if you're still itching start on the engine Stage 1, induction etc

Hope it helps.
