Thanks for your input, and yes the stock rims arnt that great looking..but honestly i think gettting the rims and tires i want will be the last thing ill get
I think for now i will get the rims painted black or something...
Like i said first things first, get a full tune up then do bolt ons, exhaust, clean the interior up a bit, get windows tinted, get a lowering kit, maybe ram hood or not then get a paint job, and then wheels.....am i forgeting anything?
So far, that is what my plans for this cars for...

Ram air hood does zero performance wise, period.

chrs1313 and seal everything off.. If you want to mess with the air intake side more... 98mm lid/85mm maf. You will be set for a long long time after that.

You can get an AC version.

A lid is a lid (all else equal: ID/ 85 VS 78)... Get a used truck or Zo6 MAF... Same exact gains for much cheaper!

I'm sure tuned properly it wouldn't be an issue... However, California is a joke.

Agreed. Pass on the lid and filter. You can get a used one in the classifieds just about any day of the week for the price noted above and a new one for about $30 more from just about every vendon on this site. The SLP lid however is a nice peice and looks factory which is why most people like them. K&N is another one of those love hate relationships. Some people don't care for them and some people live by them. The bellows is a waste of money. It's strickly an appearance mod.
