Default Some Mods done, what next?

Here is my ride. I am looking into wheels, probably fat 19's unless I pick up some 20" Budnik Gassers Staggered for a great deal.

I have tinted the windows, added a sub, put the newer tails, and added the L-tuned S/S.

But what next?

What would you do next?

I just received my Clear Corners today, will be putting them in soon, along with the 9-led lights in them as well as the parking lights.

Exhaust or Tips, Grill, front lip. Torque Converter.

Are the l-tuned side skirts (assume that is what you meant by SS) on your car in those pics? EDIT spring and shocks. I'm a bit slow today, lol.

nice and clean GS!! RIMS is a given. It can make or break ur car but as long as YOU are happy with it then thats all that matters in the end.

Id say go 20s only if ure planning to put a kit on or else it will look too big.. If you dont plan on putting a kit, 19s will look good. But again I say...its all up to you.

Oh yeah the TTE front lip will go very nice with the Ltuned SS.

Good luck

S/S - I meant Shocks and Springs, not side skirts. Sorry for the confusion.

For wheels, either the I-forged Aeros, Symbolic SL-15's or similar... I wanted to spend approx $2700-$3000 total with tires due to my budeting 2 projects at once.... ( other project is a 68 Camaro, already promised date of 7/05 for my sponsors)....

Anybody have any suggestions?

for penny pushing mods (yep i came up with this term let us use this term from now on haha) less than 150 i would:
1) do a DIY chrome grille
2) paint calipers
3) stainless steel brakelines
4) debage emblems (always liked the clean look)
5) do the is300 pedal conversion
6) new exhaust tips
7) K&N drop-in air filter
