Hey guys,
I am going to be getting my government check soon. And i was wondering, what do you think the best thing to buy with it would be? I was thinking either a gt bumper with an aggressive chin. Maybe a roush bumper but i think that is too expensive. And i would love to have new rims and tires but i dont think there are any decent sets for around 600 bucks. What are your suggestions?
Thanks

nice ride. Mine is blacl with the silver bulitts that come with the PP. you could get a takeoff set for that price. also depends what you are aiming for..... performance or show? CAI and tune would fit your budget. Good luck

Thank you,
i have always seemed to care more about looks than performance. So im trying to do whatever will make my car look better. I would love to have like an 18-19 inch wheel but with 600 dollars thats just wishful thinking. I hate the stock v6 100 spoke lookin rims

600 aint enough really to play around with but, since you got it might as well burn it

A GT front bumper would look awesome with your color with an aggressive chin on it!

Maybe some clear corners with whats leftover??

save it for some rims. i think rims are the single most striking appearance mod. then do the bumper after. if you do the bumper first, that will just put off the rims even longer.

I didnt think about that. Rims will make the BIGGEST difference on your car appearance wise. Save that extra coin and get some wheels

But once i get the pony package 5spokes, I am gonna end up replacing them anyways with a different set of rims down the road so i think it might be better to just get a bumper and aggressive chin first. And maybe highlight my spokes with black or just black out my rims all the way so they dont look as bad. I dunno, i just dont wanna buy rims twice. Keep the comments coming guys. Thanks for all your help.
