+.5 I agree that he should focus on the job and getting home safely, but speaking from experience over there you definitely need something to look forward to in order to keep your morale up andhis car project is one of the healthier distractions he could choose.

Get the C&L intake and tune and keep your 17 inch wheels. Keep your stang nimble and fast. Let the gangsters waste power turning large rims.

Since you haven't driven the car a lot yet, go for looks. Once you're used to the power, then go for performance mods.

So do rims first.

Personally, I want to go fast first, then do body mods. What kills me is seeing a flashy car thats completely stock engine wise. Reminds me of ricers.

I say 2, 1 and then 3. Wheels without lowering usally end up looking funny. And the car is plenty fast for the street.

I already have pypes mid mufflers sitting at home. Not installed yet but waiting patiently. As far as people commenting on the job at hand. This is my third deployment over here, and to be quite honest it seems like more of a home then theUS right now, so it really is hard to keep focused on the job at hand. Plus as we all know even a soldier needs a day off sometime and when those opportunities arise I turn to my car for morale, some people turn to women or booze for whatever. I just enjoy my car. Thanks for all the help people it's kinda fun to see what everybody's opinions are.
