Default Not sure what mods to do...

OK heres the thing I'm just a poor kid going to school and this summer I when I can work and make some dough I am going to do some mods to my silver 02 Trans Am. I'm just not sure wat to do. I'm definitly getting exhaust system most likely Magnaflow because its good and has a decent price. I don't know if I should spend my money on rims something like TT2's or if I should get shocks and springs.(I will eventually do both but prolly won't have the money to this summer) I'm going to do some other things like a lid, filter, and just some of the normal stuff like that. I just need help deciding what to spend my money on....
Thanks in advance

Overlay Decals are always a good bang for the buck.

!SideMolding is relatively free.....looks great to!

Keep it cleaned and protected....not free...but more elbow grease than money.

Paint the calipers.

Polish Aluminum engine parts.

Wheels would be a priority over shocks/springs for me. Wheels are the most important appearance mod to a car IMO.

wheels and tires make a huge difference if your going for looks. you want cheap power do cam headers.


if you live in cali try this web site for a good deal on rims and tires.

I don't really like zr1s and I don't live in cali anyway but thanks for trying.

I would really like to get wheels and tires and do shocks and springs this summer but since im getting the exhaust I won't have the money to do that. Hopefully I can get ALOT of OT in at work this summer.

Springs are cheap and one of the easiet and best looking dramatic appearance mod.

That plus elbow grease to keep it nice clean and waxed with take you a long way.

Yeah I really want springs but everybody is saying that I would need to get shocks if I get springs and if I do that then we not really talking cheap anymore. How are you liking the G2 springs?

Nah, I'm running stock shocks just fine. G2 springs are great, pretty nice drop. Check the other thread at the top here.
