Default CAI/Tune or apperance mods???

OK......I havea dilemma. Do I get a JLT/XCAL from Breenspeed or a bunch of apperance mods? The mods would include a CDC aggressive spoiler, street scene GT rear lip, headlight splitters, and a xenon blackout. Either way nothing will be put on until the spring because the Mustang is put away for the winter. Part of me wants to do some apperance mods...but the other half wants power. Confused....what would you guys do.....please give help.

I buy cars to enjoy! Since when Im enjoying it (driving) I have a hard time seeing the appearance mods
I tend to go for the things that are immediately apparent from the drivers seat.

Tune
Exhaust
Gears
Suspension

You get the drift.

He is talking about the VMP MAF Tube (88mm) + S&B Gauze Filter + C&L Racer Inlet Tube that VMP offers with the
SCT XCal2 or 3. Justin seems to feel the reason that the JLTII has been testing slightly better than the C&L was
that the 95mm MAF Tube was just a bit to big for most applications.

Well if its gonna be put away for the winter, then if you put appearance mods on it then you can stare at them all day... If you put on performance mods then your gonna be wanting to drive it....

If you haven't tuned it yet I say go for that, cause the longer it takes for you to do it the more you kick yourself when you finally do. Its the best mod out there. Beside you can save while its stored and do both right?

CAI/tune is my vote. You won't regret it, and your appearance preferences just might change along the way. So I would get the CAI/tune first.
