air mods? lol...saying intake and exhaust is a very vague statement. You could get a full intake and full exhaust and it would be completely different than the ricer translation for intake and exhaust which is a CAI and a fart can.

Anyways, I would go with exhaust first to make it sound better. If you have the money, get a full exhaust which means headers, midpipe, and mufflers. If you don't have much money, just swapping out the factory mufflers will make a nice tone and you can always upgrade the rest later.

I worked on looks first and then went to performance, if you want new bumper/hood or if you want to fill in badge holes or anything like that... and the most important/usualy expensive... wheels/tires... in my opinion you should go with looks first =)

Ya, I'm definately going with exhaust first...although I can't decide whether or not to only get a nice cat-back system for starters to give it a little more growl or just get it all at once. Gears come in a close second so I get to make the dreaded 3.73's or 4.10's decision pretty soon also. Beyond that I'm lowering it 1.5 inches and getting new rims the same time I replace my tires. So that seems to be my short list. Thanks all!

Oh...and I'll probably throw UDP's in there somewhere whenever I decide I have a little extra cash for them.

A nice short-throw shifter would also make a nice early mod. Easy to install too. MGW is probably the best brand, but it depends on your taste or technique of shifting.

I did drivetrain first. Body is secondary. Unless you have a dent or primer on it, do the engine. This is def a better conversation piece than side scoops and alteezas.
