Personally I would go with the performance upgrades first. I really want to get a CAI/Tuner but it is looking more and more like I'll be transfering in a couple of months so I'm trying to save a little before hand. I think you will see the most bang for your buck with the perfomance upgrade but that just my opinion, I could be wrong.

Usually first round of mods would be making your car look not stock, like your own. I know my first round was a hood scoop, louvers, tint, and rims. Now I am going for performance. But its really up to you, a CAI and tuner will help but not as big of difference as you would want. I vote looks first, then the CAI/Tuner and maybe a turbo or something!

Thats what i did. First i customized my mustang for looks, just to stand out a little. Now i am going for speed. Once i get my car somewhat fast, i am going to go back to upgrading the visuals again.

I'd go for performance first, then appearence mods. That way when you do the aggressive appearence mods like scoops, rims or lowering, you won't be all show and no go.

I agree with Jericho 73, You dont want to be all bark and no bite. I am currently working on getting performance mods taken care of, then I will get racing stripes, louvers, wheels and pony grill. that way you can look faster than stock and BE faster than stock.

Everyone's different. I say all go!!! who cares about show but some people just haft to be noticed. I feel u should get the car's numbers up first so you have the right to put a roush kit on it. It personally bugs me when I see $3000 body kits with no turbo, supercharger, or intercooler in the space where the intercooler should be. I think "what are they doing?" but hey some people just like the look not the speed. Some people (like screamin) like to enter in car shows, nothing wrong with that. Do what you feel man.

I like looking like the kid who think he's fast with his stock looking V6!! with his little dual exhaust LOL ( gets the rocks off in a sick way i guess) LOL Besides you'll get a lot more crap from people cause they see it looks fast so lets see if it runs. I get it just looking stock and having a gauge pod in my window. LOL
