Default Little help please......

Ok, Looking for a little help here. Got a few extra greenbacks in my pocket
and want to ask what you guys would do..Get a set of 17" take-off bullits with
wheels or buy a shelby grille/lights combo or the Street Scene V6 to GT grille/lights
combo...I'm driving myself mad, Can't make up my mind HHHEEEEEEELLLLPPPP!

The wheels, cuz the stock ones don't look that great. Your grill looks fine for now, so fix the wheels then you should put a nicer grill. That's how I would do it.

I'd go with the bullits. The Shelby front wouldn't match up well with the standard v6 16"rims. The new rims will make your car look tougher.

Yes, go for the wheels, especially with the $299 price Saleen is offering now.

Wheels and tires for sure, they are so cheap and you may as well do it now while your tires are still somewhat fresh in case you want to resell them with your wheels.

Plus as said above, bullits look sooooo much better than the stock wheels.

WHEELS! You have to call for the $299 deal but I believe they are the new light silver ones that come on the 07's instead of the darker ones that are on most 05s and 06s.

http://www.haneymotorsport.com/ is an authorized distributor for Saleen. I ordered my 2007 Silver Bullitt 17" wheels (not pictured below) from them for $295.95 plus shipping. Ask for Casey...
