Default My Satin Silver V6 Plans, Opinions Please!

So I have my 2005 Satin silver V6, and I want to put some mods on it!

For performance:
-C&L cold air intake with Xcal 3 tuner and 91 race tune from bama
-FRPP Dual exhaust
-3.73 or 4.10? gears with T-lok rear end
-ZEX 60 shot of nitrous (wet or dry?) but that wont be for a while

For looks:
-Black 18x9 deep dish bullitts from American Muscle
-20% window tint
-GT rockers
-GT rear bumper
-Fang front chin spoiler (should i paint it or leave it black?)
-Wheelskin window louvers
-Chrome billet grille with tri-bar pony emblem
-Clear or black front turn signals
-Black racing stripes painted on


So here are some questions...

1. Should i get 3.73 or 4.10 gears? The car is an automatic.

2. Any suggestions about nitrous would be great

3. If i get the fang chin spoiler, should i leave it black or get it painted?

4. Should i get the clear housing or the smoked housing for the front turn signals?

5. Any other opinions and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

1. Dont want to say the wrong answer

2. IMO I would go with a wet shot over a dry shot

3. Whatever you like, I don't have good taste for stuff like that [8D]

4. Got any pics of the smoked housing?

5. some suspension mods would help out a ton

yeah i like the painted look. and i realized theres not a huge difference in the smoked and clear, but ill probably go smoked. and what do you mean tail lights with a black bezel? and yeah a rear honeycomb panel would be pretty tight but thats not near the top of my mod list.

1. 3.73 if your a DD, otherwise 4.10s. It's a moderately expensive upgrade.

2. Cant help you here. sorry.

3. Painted, gives the car a much more aggressive look when it matches the body.

4. Depends on the color of your wheels.

5. Sequential turn signals, 14" antenna, fender emblems, rear blackout panel
