. I'm not the biggest fan of the rim style, but it's just a preference. You going to swap them out some day?

I'm painting her red, getting an SS hood and painting the scoop black. The side mirrors are going to be black, as well as the top. I'm getting black rims with either a red lip or just a chrome lip. As for now though I'm just gonna be putting money under the hood.

Smart move. A really good quality repaint for a 4th gen F-body is going to run you at least $3K. That's doing it right. $3K in performance mods can buy a lot of speed. Don't be "that guy" (or that girl in this case) who gets an $800 paint job and the car looks worse than before. Plus, you want to do a color change? Need a thick wallet to pull it off properly unless you paint cars yourself or have a really, really good hookup.

Lol everyone tries racing me until I start pulling on them they start realizing it's a little bit faster than they expected it to be. They pull up and say that's a pretty fast car. Lol... Everyone tells me to say it's a v6 that way they hate their life thinking they got beat by a stock v6.

one more thing before you start modding.prolly wont cost much for one run on the dyno. try to make an appt. with a reputable shop in your area with a dyno and have them strap it on the rollers and find out your baseline starting point.thats if you are really serious about making rwhp.just a suggestion to consider das all.
