i vote no on the roush springs cause its such a small drop and it will hardly be noticeable with the stock rims. i think you should save the money towards new wheels, you dont really need much else exterior-wise. it looks good man

For $200 I got a DeMolet intake, SCT X3, and a tune. Did wonders for my highway driving. If you drive on any Interstates, the added power will def serve you well with lane changes. Before I got my tune and intake I was worried about driving on I95 because there wasn't any pull in the mid to top end so passing and moving out of the way in a hurry wasn't going to happen. You will also get better gas mileage because you will be burning the fuel more efficiently. I say go intake and tune!

Easy way to smoke your HL, TL, and markers is: http://www.americanmuscle.com/spray-...nt-smoked.html

You will need about 3 cans to do all. I did my Markers and they look great.

Than I would dress up the front or back:

Front Grill:

(I have this one on my car, it gets a lot of good comments)(I just wired the halo part to the marker lights)

Back Cover:

OR just save the cash for the wheels you want!!

I got it from LMPerformance. I'll think about the GT500 spoiler but like I said earlier my mods have to be approved by the parents and I don't think they'd understand why I need a new spoiler when I have one (they don't think I should mod my car at all). I'll try and convince them though when I talk to them today.

Would a blackout panel look good since I have stripes running down the whole car?

Where did you get all that for $200? Sounds like a pretty good deal.

I like that spray, I think I might end up doing that. I talked to my parents yesterday and saving for rims isn't gonna happen. They said that since my rims aren't the stock V6 ones they were like an extra $1000 when we bought the car so unless I can find someone to buy them real quick they're staying, at least for now.

Then to dress up your wheels a bit paint your calipers. I am doing mine this weekend. I have the same rims as you, I happen to like them, They shine very well when clean.

Yes, the smoke paint is great you need to do 3 coats on each light giving about 15min to dry between each coat. Realy looks like it cost alot more!

I do think you may want to do something to the grill. The stock v6 is so blah.
