Default Next Mod? Springs or Cowl hood

So now I have enough put away from selling my SS to either get a cowl hood or springs and camber plates. Since the hood is a higher priced item it would take me longer to save again for that as opposed to saving for springs then the camber plates. Hood is going to cost me about $400 plus shipping and I still have to get it painted. I can piece the spring set up out by getting the spring’s first then the plates. So which route would you go? I now the springs will help with handling, but the hood would give it a meaner look and I could get springs in about a month and then do the plates. Thoughts?

Hood. yes your financial status would set back more but If you spend on springs you'll be saving up longer for the cowl hood opposed to buying a cowl hood now and saving up for a shorter time period to get the springs. I tend to buy/pay for the most expensive items first because its easier to make (i.e) 100 dollars opposed to 200.

i personally vote springs and c/c plates, itll make your car look a lot better as well as help a lot in the handling department, but a cowl will also help look better but i think springs are worth more to me
