Default Help me build my Colorado

It's going to be either yellow or black and turbocharged...that's ALL I know

I'm looking for advice on:
Wheels
Tires
Suspension Components
Turbocharger Sizing and Location
Internal Engine Components
Exterior
Interior

Keep the prices reasonable but I'm open to most anything.....

I'd get black and a 4x4. Also, why don't you just put a v8 in it ?

How about a 396 SBC lol. Seriously though a LSx in one would be awesome. Especially on the juice. Get a good 408 w/ n2o setup on there ($$$) and you'd be set!

for the exterior i reccommendthe usual colormatching + streetscene mirrors, supersport front bumper cover, roll pan, cowl or ramair hood, tinted windows, etc.

i suggest checking stylin concepts for interior

a blacked out turbo'd colorado would be kicka$$
