AT? MT? Always put exhaust and intake first.

There are some links you might find interesting in my signature

But ask yourself this:
1) You want looks or performance?
2) How much are you willing to spend?

I disagree. I would rather start with suspension and wheels first. Then onto exhaust etc.

^^^ Yup! I made a decision on exhaust and intake first and it was a mistake. I should have gone on suspension and wheels first to make my G look nicer since we already have a good performance car.

i have a automatic, i like the stock 19s on the sport model so maybe i should start with suspension? i guess looks first, performance second

unless someone shows me some crazy nice rims then i will sell these rims

Nothing you do will make if faster (unless you go F/I) or you find some way of stripping 500lbs from the car....

best that you go with looks (subtle changes) that make you stand out.

wheels + a nice drop + 6oooK HID + LED's = subtle but nice.

Get an intake first, just the growl alone will make you think your cars alot faster.

I agree with DrJones. Make subtle individual exterior changes. If you do go for an intake, don't go too crazy. I'm very satisfied with the Injen Short Ram Intake (SRI). It adds a GREAT growl to my engine so it SOUNDS faster, but in reality....performance wise.....our stock air boxes are pretty damn well designed.

I say the first mod should be wheels (Vossen's) and then lower the car.

i went with suspension first, got JIC coils, sways, and tints, those 3 alone makes my G standout compare to all the stocks Gs out there.

oh i also got 6k hids but drop FTW!
