Default Best car mod poll for a new look.

I have a 1994 Firebird that I have recently been fixing up from a bad wreck. To celebrate him being fixed, I have decided to drop some money into it and give it a nice new look/feel. I have been debating between a new WS6 imitation/custom hood, a lowering kit, full window tint, a trans am high rise hatch, or using the money to go through and do a bunch of little things, like VHT, black out the chrome, small decals and touchups, custom license plate, etcetc. Maybe even a new paintjob? Feel free to vote, lemme know what you did to your own car that changed it up the most.

The TA would already have the high rise though. Tint I can deal with, but my hood is wrinkled in the front from the wreck also.

what i mean with the high rise is it will carry over if you deside to clone it or you can alway make it look like a formy with a high rise and a ws6 hood what do you want in the long run when you get a t/a do you want a collectors item do you want the ls1 look ???? do you have the crome wheels they sell on ebay for around 400 in good shape you could get wheels then sell the ones you got to off set the price oe wheels has some nice wheels for a good price

Ditch those awful tail lights, get some honeycombs. It will make it look like a totally different car.

PLEASE don't do the trans am spoiler, it looks awful on v6/formula cars without the ground effects/ front bumper.

i dont blame you for not wanting to sell them i wont sell mine either why dont you look into the ls1 front end swap i know the paint wont match but the same would go for the hood and that brings me to that you need a hood any way and if you get the ls1 firebird front clip if want cost as much and then do an lsx swap down the road

Taillights -grid or honeycomb, tint, debadge, remove the side moldings, trim the antenna, and TA hatch. That is less than a few hundred for everything and will make the car look 100x better. Your wheels look fine for now, though wheels are really the thing that makes or breaks a car for me.
