What would you do to your Bronco Sport if you had $2k for modifications?

(I’d get new wheels, tires, or maybe a low profile roof rack and tires)

I have the 1.5 so not much in the way of power train modifications I can think of. I also already have the lift and wheels/tires. I would probably get the hood struts, roof spoiler, add/replace the tint all around, PPF the front. If that doesn't eat up all $2,000 then I'd probably head to the bar after picking the vehicle back up.

If you have the 2.0 I’d do a tune and exhaust.
Ooo exhaust yes!! ?? miss the sound of my previous X3M40 sometimes. Any recommendations for how to improve the sound? Exhaust brands or any tips? Do BS’s have an exhaust flap?

Sounds like money well spent ? ??

The HRG ultimate 2.5" lift, a yucca platform, and a roof bar light. All installed myself.
Whoa! That’s a big lift - beast mode status!! I’d love to do a lift beyond the First Edition factory springs but she may not fit in the garage.

Skid plates and Rock Sliders for a 1.5L (not sure you could get all of that for $2k). Cheers!
I’ve wondered if because the BS is low to begin with doesn’t the sliders decrease ground clearance? Would love to see some slimline sliders as I can see some potential function but the RC and another brand seem so chunky for the BS frame. ?

I don't have a need to lift mine so, maybe replace the tires, although i'd wait until current Conti Cross Contacts had more wear. Skid plates maybe (i don't know how much a skid plate can protect the plastic oil pan on the 1.5 but i guess it's better than nothing)

If neither of the two options above... i'd go for a a Thule box for the roof...

Flat Out GR Lite suspension, installed by me. That's $1800 and I can theoretically drive 15 minutes to go pick it up instead of shipping it.

The other $200 I'd spend on replacing stuff that Ford "left out" when they built this damned thing.

Alternative:

Cobb Tuning Stage 1 kit (Accessport and high-flow air filter), replace all the stuff Ford left out, and then make a payment.
