Default What to do next?

Hey yall..I really am not sure what to do with my truck next. I know it needs a tune badly and a 3'' y-pipe with high flow cats (parents wont let me go ORY) and that's all im really thinking. I had an idea about doing a slight drop and 22" iForged wheels powdercoated black. Also another thing i thought about was HID's but im really not sure on what way to go w/ that w/ out messing up. I'd like to keep a clean look and no ghetto ****. What yall think I should do?

here's a pic of how it is now..


oh yeah, this is what it has currently:

Volant CAI
Corsa Sport
Pacesetter LT's
2.5" y-pipe and stock cats

if you're parents let you, do a little more go instead of all the show, maybe a converter or a mild cam or something HID's are expensive i think

you should leave it like it is, and save your money instead of putting money into a sinking investment as a vehicle is

no painted door handles only cause i really dont like them on a white truck. same with the mirrors

antennae delete i guess i could, not really sure i want to though

no billett i like my grill

no bed covers i like. if i were to get one, i'd not want it to show when eye level with the car.

hell no on nitrous - well maybe..

no cut out

2/3 drop, yea if i get wheels

dubs, thinkin about it

big brakes i'm all for that but it'd be later on in the game.

thanks for the ideas guys keep em coming!

Man dude.........that's why we are all here at this site. Quit letting him down.
The modification thing is a hobby for performance enthusiasts. It's no different than owning street bikes, Harley's, choppers, dirt bikes, 4-wheelers, boats, jet skiis, R/C vehicles, electronics, or anything else that is a hobby.
All hobbies cost money. It may be a waste to some and an adrenalin rush or a reward of acheivement to another.
Some people go broke, get divorced, and get talked down to doing their hobbies.
A hobby is a comprimise in life. If your married or engaged, then I stress to that individual to make sure they let their significant other realize this before arguements start to create problems in their marriages. Of course your significant other and your financial status should always be placed first!
I pay only cash for my hobbies. I don't overwhelm myself or my family with credit card debt from my hobby.
I'm just very reluctant to have a wife that is supportive in my hobby!
Just my .02 to your comment.

Jim
