The car looks great ! plus you have to click the picture to make it bigger ~

Are you leaning toward performance ? or more towards looks ?

I's say if you wanted only 2000 worth of parts for performance ..how extreme are you tryin to go ... just blow it all at once or invest towards a bigger investment ... super charger ... ask rmmgs4... has great ideas for that


also if just looks ... I would Invest for bags 800 more and you done with that and thats is with labor included .. but thats mee ...


If cheaper performance ... exhaust... headers.. and why not a Couple of tv's ??


Good luck ... also...

If you want to "up your credit" get the 2 g's and pay the loan back 90% back right away. loans are hitting credit reports much faster these days.

you having 90% available on the 2k credit limit will up your credit score.
you having 90% of it spent on mods will not help when reflecting on credit report.

sorry, I couldn't help myself.

but if you must, can you just get a 5k loan and only spend 2k that scenerio would be better than 1st.

It would probably help to know your goals for the car.

well im not looking to do too much performance maybe a header thats about it other than my intake. i did want to do a super charger but i dont wanna have to worry i already did that with my 240 i like having a warrentee. i dont want my suspension real tight i like the comfort ride. unless u guys think the tein cs's r definatly worth it like if they r close to a spring ride then id do those. i just know my flex were too bouncy for my taste in that car. but maybe i should just do some minor things like hids eye lids a 3 peice wing and a c/f ugo spoiler. so like i said my goals r kinda minimal on performance. the suspension if u guys can recomend a way for more comfort ride im up for that. and styling im all ears on. thanks

I think you need to lower it and if you like comfort than go for the new tein cs's if the old cs's ride this nice I can imagine the new cs's.

Which ever direction you decide to go shop the classifieds. That 2K won't get much in brand new GS mods. If it was me with your car, I'd be headed down the performace lane.

nice car!

you can take a bigger loan and buy a 400 or 430 that is the same color as your car now. and swap all the aftermarket parts over to the 400/430. and sell the 300 and pay back the loan. and have yourself a fast sick car.

just kidding


invest your cash!! let your money work for you.. not you work for your money...
