alright, then this just makes things even harder. I obviously want to get mods for my car, but I dont know what to get first!! My parents bought my old car off me for $1000, so I'm going to use that money on mods. I just dont know what to get first. I should be getting a spoiler for xmas, so check that one off. should i do rims first? i know that will be a little more with new tires, but i can spend a few hundred myself.

I say BOO to any of the Black Widow stuff. I think cowls look the best on your body style.

I second that, the black widow kit looks to rice to me, it doesn't really flow right with the body of the car. If your guna get a hood i'd say the Mach II is the nicest hood out... but seriously just do wheels, they are pretty expensive so while you have the money get them done, that way as you get smaller amounts of money later you can put it toward other things. That and with a fresh coat of wax and cleaned your car will look really nice with wheels...i paid 1600 mounted and balanced for mine, but then again i paid more for the tires then I did for the wheels...

If you ever go back to the hood plan..there is a company called Champion Fiberglass Products here in Cincinnati (No they are not Cincinnati Composits). There hoods are really good quality and they are cheaper than alot of other places out there....I picked up my Cobra R hood for about $280 and it required little or no work to get it ready for paint.

Definately skip that hood, and go with the wheels. Wheels will take your car from stock looking to great looking instantly. My sisters fiance used to have a black 98 v6 and it had those triangle looking wheels on it, well, he swapped them for some 98 cobra wheels, the car instantly looked a million times better. Get them first. IMO, that hood = rice. Just me though, if you like it, buy it.

Well even though my opinion on FR500's is guna be bias, cuz I LOVE THEM, i'd say if you went with either the silver, or black ones, in 17x9 in the front and 17x10.5 in the back, your car would look SOOOO Bad ***. Red with Black wheels and a huge lip, ahh just looks really nice. And once it's lowered it will just make your car look 100% better!

observe...
