[alerored04]

My list is going to be pricey. I am happy with the car right now but my plans include:
Turbo-8-10psi to start
6 speed out of a G6, once installed the turbo will prolly go to 13-15psi
OSV bodykit if I can afford one outside the GB
Air Ride (maybe)

I need to start saving monies lol.

[Valley olds]

Exterior: New Rims or paint current ones, lower car, HID's, muffler tips and painting the pillars between the doors white

Interior: Wood dash, whiteface gauges, if possible wood gauge bezel

Performance: Exhaust with quiet high flow muffler and drilled and slotted rotors

Sound: component speakers all around and what I already got.

Thats it. My plans aren't really that big. The reason for wanting to paint my current rims rather than buy new ones is that this will be my daily driver and I don't want to go to all sorts of places (malls, clubs, Mexico, dances, etc...) with really nice rims.

[Midgear]

I was saving up for school, but I think i'm going to invest my cash in my car instead.

thats a GREAT idea. take something that will result in you being paid more for the rest of you life, and spend it on something that'll fall apart/be worthless in 10 years.

awesome plan.
