Go fast vs Look good I am in a huge dilemma. Have some money saved up and don't know what to do with it. What should I do?????? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go Fast:
Pacesetter lt's and a tsp y pipe that will compliment my exhaust cutout very nicely.
or
Look good:
Window tint, cross drilled and slotted rotors, whistler mod, smoked tail lights, and fixing the broken side mirror to compliment my shiny new C6 Z06 rims.

Is your car a Z or an ss? If it is an SS, I would go with go fast parts. If it is a Z, I would differentiate if with some look good parts.
I like looks though...

My vote is for the go fast parts.
And someone correct me if im wrong, but isnt the whistler mod just painting the headlight housing? That cant be terribly expensive.
Smoked Tailligihts, also can be done relatively inexpensively with a few cans of nightshade. Theres even a write-up in the appearance section on exactly how to do it (I think).
Just my .02.

Fix your mirror and do the go fast parts. Drilled and slotted rotors would be meh, but unless your buying an awesome big brake kit I don't think its gonna improve the look that much.

agree with what's been said.
the whislter mod is $5
never liked smoked tail lights
tint is a good idea, keeps inside temps down and adds some nice accent
do the long tubes

i'd go with go fast parts. and you can do the whister for free and window tint and smoked tail lights are relatively cheap. and i wouldn't mess with the rotors, just not worth the money to me when blanks perform and last longer, but that's all you, man. a berger panel is also free along with some other free mods that are out there. good luck!

Was thinking of buying the rotors because my stock rotors are HORRIBLE!!! They have cracks and are what I'm guessing to be burned because they have black stains around the whole thing on both my fronts. Plus I think they'll look cool behind the chrome rims.

A stock car with appearence mods is gay. A fast car with tasteful alterations that make it unique but only to the close observer should be your goal.
That being said, do fix that mirror and tint is always a good idea. Rotors should be replaced if they are worn out, but not just because they are a little discolored. And blanks are the way to go, drilled and slotted are not necessary unless you are really into road racing.

Is this your daily driver? I would definitely get new rotors (my car loves me for it) and like others said window tint can always look good. I would probably do that and then buy some LT's. ^_^
