Talking Only 3................

Ok, I was just sitting here thinking......If there was some kind of law or rule that you were only aloud to do three things to your vehicle, what would I do?
1. Wheels (A must)
2. Tint the windows.
3. Lower it.
What would you guys do with the "only three"
This includes Motor, Interior also.

Rims, Hood, Bodykit. My car hasn't been lowered, yet the shocks are for **** I think because my car sits lower than other stock fbodies. Then again, maybe it's just all the heavy interior stuff in my car, the subs and such.

1) 408ci stroker
2) 9" rear end
3) Lowered 2"

I dont need exhaust(open headers on a 408 is badass), and wheels arent necessary, a 408 is just plain badass. But then again this is coming from someone who hasnt dont one appearance mod.

I've never been good at following rules... so I'd have to say screw that stupid law Although, I would allow my car to look like crap before I started demodifying the engine. The day I start taking mods off my car is the day that you all will know something is very VERY wrong.
