Default What mods would you make to my car?

Obviously that stupid exhaust tip should be gone, which is good, because it is. It's got a stock exhaust again, but I don't know if those $5 wallys-world flames will come off. But other than those two things, I'd like to get either some bullet rims or the '99 GT 5-spokes, a GT hood scoop, grill delete, 03-04 stock smoked headlights, rear blackout panel, dual exhaust, black rocker stripes, chin spoiler, GT side scoops and a lowering kit.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

dont do a thing to it visually. start saving for a turbo or supercharger set up. then, when yur v6 is hanging with or smoking GT's...you will car less about how your car looks.

Well for starter's I'd take off every sticker, the dealer sticker, the dale earnhardt sticker, the flames, and the fish on your bumper (wtf lol). Then I'd get a mach 1 chin, mach 1 grille, blackout the rear, tail light tint, window tint, drop it atleast 1.5", black wheels (bullitts or FR500s), take the wing off, then get a big *** turbo.

Yea get rid of those stickers. They should just come off with a hairdyer or hot water. I'm liking the GT hood scoop idea. It adds alot of looks for not alot of cash. Ebay has em and all it needs is to be painted. Other than that, yea save up for some extra power.

I didn't read any comments thus far, to get an unbias view.

1.) wheels/tires
2.) smoked clear corner headlights
3.) get rid of that vinyl thing on the side of your car
4.) move spoiler back 2"'s.
5.) lower (if it wasn't already)


I only listed visual things because I've been out of the loop performance wise for awhile.

actually a proper kit will hit full boost before 3k rpm's in most cases.

if you look on youtube, there are videos of 03 cobras racing one has a KB and the other a turbo. the turbo actually hit full boost very shortly after the KB. and actually pulls the KB cobra even down low.

more and more are figureing out the way to setup cars with turbos to have almost no lag what so ever.

okay, here is what I would do. i would keep the exterior mainly stock, except for maybe the white Halogen bulbs for headlighs, and black letter inserts for the rear bumper. new shift handle, nice gauges, get a Head/full intake/Cam/bore&stroke, BBK underdrive pulleys, CAI, 70mm throttle body, Xcalibrater 3 tuner, 3.73 gears and a T-lok, and if it was manual, i would consider a stronger Flywheel/double or triple plate clutch, and maybe better gear ratios for road racing. MAYBE a Roots blower in the future.

EDIT: yeah, and remove the fish, and that stupid Dale Earnhardt sticker. (my car has no dealer stickers! HAH!)
