Default Can't decide what mod to do over the winter

I can't decide which one to do yet. Such a tough choice. I want a new look with the car but performance is always nice

I voted Pacesetters... but really I'd suggest a nicer set that is atleast coated like Hooker, so that you aren't shopping for a new set in a year...

I voted pacesetters and you can get coated pacesetters. They are great headers and definitely last more than a year...

Wheels would make a nice impression.
Every time you'd see the car, you'd smile, ...

On the other hand, if you did LT's, everytime you start it, you'd smile, ...

Depends on what you have to spend & what you like. Performance, or visual mod's.

Do the performance stuff first then work on the appearance. Appearance is cheaper!

Back up the looks, dont be a ricer!
