Why don't you look into a new grille. Your not that far out of the price range if you have some money to throw on top. You can even get some for under that. I picked my overlay up for 80 I think and i've been happy with it. Get some stereo stuff maybe. But if it were my decision I would look into getting some side scoops.

craigslist. SCT still has 5 unlocks.

Does the oil catch can actually help? I looked in to doing this on my W8 but turned out not to help.

I think louvers would really set your car off, I just added louvers onto mine and it changes the whole look of the car, turns way more heads. Smoked turn signals would look sick on your car too.

Thanks, I would love to use it to save for rims but once again I'm getting shot down by the parents. It's pretty much choose something they can ship me or they'll probably send a $50 Best Buy gift card.

Would side scoops look good with louvers? I've only really seen scoops on cars with 1/4 window scoops too. Have you seen any black billet grilles that would fall around my price range? I was looking into getting a new grille a while back but most were either a little too expensive or chrome.

Black billet grilles tend to go just outside 200, maybe 230. And scoops can look good with louvers, it's personal taste. I think it looks fine on my car but won't be offended if you don't like it. I can provide pics if the sig isn't much help.

I think the scoops look good on your s197 with louvers. However, you need to get rid of those stock rims. My mom has those on her 07 500. Nice car though.

Thanks man. New wheels are definitely a priority as soon as I get the cash together. I appreciate the feedback

I can appreciate that. I like my bullits but the previous owner curbed the hell out of them so I am going to go with 18x10 black saleens when I can save up the cash.
