Default Goin for looks

if your going to do looks ID PERSONALLY START with
1) springs (helps ride also)
2) wheels/tires (again helps ride and traction)
3) brakes (never hurts to have a little more stopping power)
4) interior (i personally have a rear seat delete and theres some nice threads about people painting some peices so ill be doing that soon) and finally
5) body kit (most expensive, reason i saved for last because its least important and doesnt show any worth while gains unless you can pick up a lot of chicks from it)

yaeh the wheels are the replica wheels and they were priced at $728 from local shop....i was thinkin about goin with the anthracite or chrome dunno on that one

interior pieces i was gonna paint yellow to match car and leave the stock silver pieces the same

as for the body kit....which one u think would look the best without scrappin the dam ground which is at some points about 2' incline and about 4' long....which is pretty steep

the first/second is body kit/wheels then put in lowering spring to see how much you need to drop it, thats what i did hopefully this week or next week i get my wheels then im putting in drilled and sloted rotors and from there i start saving for a twin turbo kit

-Grill Delete
-Chin Spoiler
-Tint Windows
-Tint tailights/3rd brakelight/sidemarkers
-SUSPENSION (I recommend H&R Supersports springs)
-Wheels (Big Tires out back)
-03 Cobra color matched mirrors

Those are the smaller mods I would recommend first before any major body changes like bumpers or a hood.

If you are interested in a hood, check out Carbonware.com, highly recommended. Tell them Jon sent you
