My car is almost where I want it... Need Parts

My car is almost where i want it so I can just let it be and enjoy it.

Besides my 18g upgrade, I am almost done with the car until that comes up much further down the road...

However being that I am about to go $250,000 in debt from the house purchase, the wife has requested that I get some parts on the cheap.

So what I really need is the following parts:

-Rally Armor Mudflaps (all black, blue or white writing)
-Gauges and A pillar pod
-Boost
-Oil Temp
-Oil Pressure
-Wheel Powder coating hookup
-Cobb AP v.2 for 2006 wrx

Let me know what you've got

I am so close, please help.

You should get some ikea flexible cutting boards. For $100 less than RA flaps they're almost as good.

Or just get RA Basic flaps for $50. I wouldn't get used ones because they warp fairly quickly and I sure as hell wouldn't pay over $100 for them. The DIY cutting board ones work fairly well according to AndyC, among others.

check into prosport, their gauges are really reasonable, I've heard many have great luck with the ikea cutting board flaps too

I wouldn't go with the basics. I've had them and they're are weak, but then again, I tear up dirt and snow pretty regularly. wrxisthebest also destroyed a pair in less than a month and they become warped and nasty looking quick.

Seriously, just go drop about $20 whatever color cutting bourds you want from ikea, then borrow someones RA's to cut a template or make whatever shape you want. Want longer mudflaps? shorter? fatter? skinnier? no problem . I sound like a salesmen? These are just so good for so cheap.

These are the best mudflaps i've had yet, they've been on my car for over a year now with no warpage or breakage. wrxisthebest and subadubaru, as well as many others also do it. The mounting hardware is easy to obtain to.
You can get red, white, black, charcoal, and turquoise.

Here's a couple pics of yes, cutting boards on my car (after one year of heavy use):

I just bought the RA Basics primarily because I wanted the hardware. Now that I've got it, I'll go that route for the next set because these aren't looking too hot after about a year of hard abuse.

yeah but as mentioned i am trying to do it on the cheap, if they look terrible i will get the RA, but if i go the ikea route it also gives me something to do.

I don't remember exactly. They're just flexible cutting boards (may be called that) They're usually in a bin and packaged in pairs. Pretty much best bang for the buck mudflaps ever and you make them how you like them.
