Default What do you guys think?

So I have a large sum of money in my possession, around $450 to be exact, and yes I still owe, but thats besides the point. I was thinking about getting the rear saleen bumper and the sidescoops with the money, but what do you guys think, what would you recommend, ect.

Getting the bumper and painting it will take you above that number unless you have a person that is good that does **** for cheap.

Well I mean does the car actually need to be completed? Does it look good right now?

I was gonna put it at about $450 to paint and assemble. What about mufflers, go with the Super-40's or Magnaflows?

I'm not all about preformance, I'm about looks, sound, ect. So I think I might just get the rear bumper and start saving to get it painted

Well I had a deal with my dad, the rims for my birthday the tires for my grades (B baby, thats all )

I'm gonna go ahead and order the rest of the body work, and then I'll look into the nitrous. Hey thanks for the suggestions guys, you know I don't make any purchases without a overwhelming majority

I'm a follower... I tend to do modifications that only the majority of people agree with... I like to conform to the social scene, not be an outcast =P

BTW what nitrous setup is suggested?

I checked into having a front bumper installed and painted and it was right around $400.Plus the cost of the bumper.

Magnaflow's!!

Everything except the hood pin's.

No way was I cutting into a $600 hood.And they had to mod the location of the pin's because of the thickness of the hood.

Hood pins are a breeze...i was nervous to about the whole thing. I had my dad do it, but it didnt cost me a cent. The bumpers though really arent that hard to do. Taking them off is a breeze. Lining up the brackets to rivet them on is the tuff part. milos you really wont know how tuff it is tell you give it a shot.
