using high quality lubricants in your engine as opposed to skimping out and buying the "autozone" brand oil because its cheaper
It's all SM oil... :what:

Hey guys im anoob to car modding and am just wondering on a GLI coupe that has black plastic side skirts and a black plastic line running down each side on the doors is it possible to have these sprayed the same tone black of the car? How much am i looking at and is it easily done? Also i would like to do the same for a new front bumper bar/grill (as in front bodykit) and eyelids. Thanks?

Probably $50-100 at a body shop to paint match the skirts, etc. Add another $100-200 for the front bumper and eyelids.

Air Filter

New cold air intake. Or even a performance filter helps a lot too, and you get another mpg or two... usually. Get the Pro Dry filter so you don't have to worry about all the maintenance. =) I need to know what the cheapest way to get rid of scratches on the rear bumper is, any ideas?

Scratches and Suspension

The scratches on the bumper are pretty deep, down to the black plastic. The ones on the rest of the car are small and should be able to get buffed out easily. My buddy got a pro dry filter and it increased gas mileage by 2 mpg. Its a little more responsive now too but not very noticeable. Also, what is the best type of suspension (coil overs) under 1k?
