I just wanted to let ya'll in on my point of view. I've just never been in this situation before and it's a tough decision.

Again, I want to thank everyone for the support and help.

On that note, What do you think of that Carbon Something or Other Rear Valence that was posted earlier?

I like it, but I'm not sure how it will flow with the rest of the parts. To me it seems smooth and rounded while the Cervinis and Street Scene parts are kind of defined and sharp.

Do ya'll feel the same way?
I would stick with the street scene valence.... I like sharper lines too!

I know winston. It's cool. Thanks for the support guys.

I have 1 final question. I think I'll start a new thread about it to generate some interest because this is a big one for me.

I'm going to save up a little longer on the exhaust issue. I'm still getting the front and I'll just delay putting it on.

Question is:

Should I...

a) Go the Street Scene route and go with dual boomtubes and an H-Pipe. Not sure on this one yet. I really have no clue about exhaust. I know I like the sound of the boomtubes but I don't have a clue about the X-Pipes and H-Pipes. I mean, I know the obvious part but...

b) Go with the Cervinis V6 Side Exhaust.

I want to get opinions/comparisons on each of the following:

-Looks
-Sound
-Practicality

I'm looking for a deep, agressive, rumble. Nothing raspy or like ricer loud.

Each of these categories is equally important.

I know, this is tough, and I'm asking a lot, but if ya'll could compare and give opinions that would be great.

Thanks,

HT

I promise after this decision is made, I will pull the trigger, finally.

Oh boy...

I was almost there, about to decide and make the purchases, when a 45 min. car ride pops up. Me and my dad start talking about my plans for my car and the following comment comes up.

"After thinking about it, due to the fact that you have proved responsible with your car so far, I will let you get a GT or a 350Z, granted you pay the difference between the sell price of the V6 and the GT..."

Talk about a curveball. What should I do?

That means I have to save up at least 3,000 more dollars. That's alot when I have enough to do a lot to my V6 right now. But is it worth it?

I'm planning on going to test drive a GT soon so I can see the difference in feel. This is a killer decision...

I know how to drive a stick...

It's still a hard decision. I've been planning on this for so long that I have a hard time just letting it go. Not to mention I'm not looking forward to saving up a lot more money...

I'm going to go test drive a GT soon and see the difference.
