Hello, this is my first car, and i have alot of plans for it, its a V6, so i really want to get GT take off parts, a roush hood scoop, new wheels, and white racing stripes, but i dont know what would be the best to get first, i figured first i should save up for GT parts so when i get it striped i wouldnt have to get the front and rear bumpers striped again after getting my v6 parts striped, but then i figured its going to take me along time, maybe a year to save up enough for the GT take offs, so if i got the roush scoop i would at least get some progress done, but would that make stripes harder to put on? im new to modding cars, so im completely clueless,
thanks for any help

sounds like you have a lot to do and limited money.

make 2 lists.

first one list your priority w/o regard to money.

second list your priority w/what will get you the most the fastest w/what you have and that makes sense.

that should help you make your choice.

getting the car's stance right, makes a huge difference. Even if you couldn't do wheels and tires all at the same time, it would still look 10x better [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img]

If you don'thave the cash for the GT take-off bumpers and stuff right now, then I'd get your car striped. Leave the hood scoop for now, you can have that added and stripes applied to it later very easily. Just my opinion, but the stripes would be the least expensive thing on your list and also easy to apply to your new bumpers when you get them. However, GT take-off body kits with mufflers are going pretty cheap right now on ebay. There is a vendor selling kits for between 350 and 400. This is a great deal, I paid 625 last month so I am kicking myself right now!! Don't know if this is within your price range but just wanted to mention it! Good luck with your first mod, whatever it may be!!

I'd say stripes first, makes the car look meaner, IMO. Get vinyl for now, then get them painted when you get the GT parts.
