Default What should I do with my SS?
1. H/C/I
2. Paint front bumper and door and also add a clear bra
3. Fikse wheels
4. Springs/shocks

I'm planning on doing one of these if I don't put a down payment on a Jeep SRT8.

Hard to make a choice without knowing some stuff about ur car. What are your current mods, what wheels do you currently have, are you on stock suspension, how badly does the bumper and door need to be painted?

I'm full bolt ons and my suspension is stock except for some springs. I have chrome GM ZR1's. The front bumper has a lot of rock chips and the door was keyed back in 04-05 (5-6")

Tough choice.

Although, I know if my car had been keyed, after I was released from jail for beating the ************ to a pulp, I'd have it painted ASAP. So I'd say fix the exterior, then move on to the next performance mod.

Repaint the car and do some more suspension mods ie: swaybars, endlinks, etc. These cars are fun in the twisties.
