Default Which combo

AWWWW SON OF A!!!!

well, since my little vehicle that could, isnt selling right now, I said I would mod her out a bit, and have some fun with her.

She's an 06 with a GFX front spoiler, and I've come to a cross road

I was going to upgrade the wheels/front end (to the 2011 F-Sport) and enjoy for a bit

but of course Sewell comes and has to jack it alllll up and offer the headlights on a good deal

so here we are, I'm ready to spend, however the lady would probably put her jessica simpsons up the backside if I said all in on everything, so here I am....and I need some opinions here....

do I.....

A) Get wheels and upgraded front bumper, hold off on updated headlights
B) Get wheels and upgraded headlights, hold off on bumper
C) Get upgraded bumper and upgraded headlights, hold off on wheels

Don't rush, mod slowly. I'd say wheels first, lower it, then do the rest.

Mikey if you want the head lights get them while there on sale now. Cause wheels hardly ever go on sale. So there still be there now or later at the same price.

I'm working on getting my front lightings together as well

I voted B. Wheels and headlights would make the most impact on the car

Voted A. In my opinion you have to get your wheels first. Are the headlights that sewell have on sale the same ones that all the members are having problems with the paint inside bubbling?

I know

Here's the problem....here's my Isis...



am I crazy, or does the front lip not even look like it's there (granted it's taken on a snow background)

which is why I was looking at the bumper upgrade, as it looks more aggressive. I dont know how the headlights would really change anything on it....if that makes sense
