Next Mod?

Im out of ideas. The only thing besides suspension and a paint job that I really want to do to my car is turbo it. All of which I dont have the money for.

So what changes do you think would make my car look better? Any advice is welcome. I know my car is definately not in everyones taste, or liking for that matter. Just tell me your oppinion.

Buy a piggy bank and put your change and single dollars in it every night. You'll be surprised how soon you will save up money for that turbo..

it would take me ten years to save up that way, seeing as I never have spare change left, lol.

Something little - new nose badge or an overlay..umm, sequential tails.. I can't tell in the pics - are your rear side markers blacked out? If not, do that. Interior - stainless steel dash kit? or carbon fiber? Stainless gauge overlay...steering wheel insert? Black carpet, reupholster door panels.

rocket launcher....????

seriously, your car looks good the way it is. start piecing together your turbo kit, injectors, headers...all the little not horribly expensive stuff.

Oh, and Danielle, I have a pillarpod with two carbon fiber gauges in it, a nose badge, and new steering wheel. No pics atm though so I have a few of those checked off.

About the reappholstering thing, i've thought about doing that, or just taking the leather peice out of a wrecked SS and throwing it in mine... but it seems like it would look out of place.

carbon fiber dash kit if you dont have one. i just saw a thread on ls1tech i think about dash kits. i saw a sunset orange LS1 SS at a local carshow with a carbone fiber dash kit and it looked really good to my suprise. would work well with the hood and pillar gauges.

other than that... save the money for a rainy day or a turbo. few months, youll be suprised how much you might actually have.
