Default Choices choices and more choices

Im in a huge dilemma. Ive got $500 right now to spend and I can either get lowering springs, mach 1 grille delete, and mach 1 chin spoiler... Or I can get 17X10.5 deep dish bullitts and new tires to replace the rear wheels and tires. Either way at some point I will be getting it all but I dont know what to get right now. I dont know if the deep dish bullitts with the stock 4x4 stance would look very good. I think if I get the springs, grille delete, and chin spoiler that would be my best bet for now then get the wheels and tires when I sell my subs or save up. What do you guys think? I didnt know which section to post this in so if a mod wants to move it then I understand.

I agree. Sounds good to me. But maybe instead or apperance mods you can get performance mods?

I thought about performance mods but I have traction problems as it is now so I decided some springs and wider tires may help me with that. For some reason I just want to start with looks also.

Those appearance mods will look good. Did you factor in mounting as such into the cost?

You do realize lowering springs HURT traction, right?
