  • Make it go fast or make it look nice?

    I dont know what route to take, I was thinking about do a slp cai, then borla exhaust withe headers carsound cat, then put wings west gfx on, then put the racing stripes on. Is this the method you would take, or would you do all the performance mods first?

      just my opiniion, but the appearance mods are a lot easier to do. I already have a custom sound system. The only thing I am worried about is if I put the gfx on before all the mods, it might make it a pain(dont know)

        What I have done and still do is I will do an appearence mod, then a performance mod, or vice versa.
        Like I did, exhaust and intake, then I did tint, etc, etc.

        Do you have a bird or a maro?

        my sig, has pics for ideas if ya want to check it out.

            the ground effects do make it a little harder to do get under the car (if lowered as well) but worth it in my opinion.

            There are pictures of mine in the sig as well.

              what are some good gfx options for the 94? cant find many. Some good sites that have them for pretty cheap would be good. Also how much does it cost to have them painted?

                I went looks then a little performance then a little more looks. Now I'm all into the performance parts. I'd get the Wings west w-type kit like I have, it has the most agressive front end I think for our cars. But get ready for no ground clearance and lots of scraping noises :D

                    I got it from a group purchase for like $417 or something like that, and the paint and install shouldn't cost more than $200. Theres a website that has the cheapest prices for Wings West stuff, I'll search around and post a link for you.

                        The website is www.newwayautosports.com. Just email them for a price, I think someone was quoted $486 shipped to their door. I think I did the group purchase through Tbyrne Motorsports about a year ago around this time.

                              fix up the car in the order of things that bug u or annoy u the most, whether it's appearance, performance, or both combined.
