Default What to do What to do?

OK guys, I am looking at about 2 grand in a month or so and can't really decide what route to take, you can take a look at the list of mods on my car in my sig, but I figured you guys could give me some opinions. Here is what I was thiking, but feel free to throw out some new ideas:

1) Porsche break kit carbon fiber hood and carbonio intake

2) 18 inch deep dish wheels, sell my wheels and get new pulleys and cams or different suspension (coilovers?)

3) HandR coilovers and new wheels for less than 1600 (including selling my wheels)

4)all motor mods (pulleys, cams, carbonio intake, 2.5 inch downpipe, cat tube etc.)

Anyway, lemme know what you guys think.

number 1 and/or number 2.

i think deep dishes would look hot on ur car, so would a carbon fibre hood! u should do that instead of the other mod's.

agree with anthony. 1 or 2. you need a better looking/working intake. def go carbonio.

carbonio, pulleys, cams, and maybe deep dishes? I think that would be sweet.

Put it away and save for a supercharger/turbocharger setup. [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Just my $.02, and number 1 looks good if you've got the itch real bad...

Anything but 3. The Parsche brake kit is awesome, but can you afford all three things in option 1? I would be inclined to say number 4, but before you have that much power, I think the brakes are a must. I would personally do some more motor work and forget the hood for now. Instead of the hood, get the pulleys.
