For me, Tinted windows is ALWAYS the first thing I get on any car.

I would up the budget to 600 if you can and do a driveshaft but first things first lower it!! These things are monster trucks without a little drop. About 1.5" in the rear and 1" in the front is the way they "should" look from the factory. Koni dampers and steeda springs is a good affordable setup. Make the car ride and look/appear far better!

Hey,

It looks like a nice build coming along here, I really like your tastes in mods, it is quite a stylish sixxer, how do you like the tunes?

As mentioned, springs would really take this ride to the next level. It would give the car a much more aggressive look, and it would give the car new life in the corners. It will certainly make the car much more fun to drive, and I know you wont be disappointed if you went this route.

Also, in this budget you could do several exterior mods such as side scoops or louvers as well. These are always popular choices, and they would also give this ride a new look for sure.

I hope this helps!

You can't go wrong with white gauges if you don't already have them. They make a tremendous difference is visibility.

Also, with your color car, a cheap appearance change would be to paint your brake calipers. Can't go wrong with red

Glad to hear they are working out for you, the 3.7s really respond well to our tunes. Keep posted, there are some big things coming down the pike and I would not be surprised to see a ghost cam tune in the near future.

As always if you need anything or have any questions in the mean time feel free to be in touch.
