Do you want to go fast or just look good. Also, what kind of budget are you looking at?

id say clear corners. Wbodystore.com grilles or other grilles. (Ebay) front and rear inlays for the PONTIAC on the bumpers. tint the windows. and get ahold of (FLIP) on here about a set of tinted taillights.

A cai and a zzp downpipe..I started off with appearance mods and honestly I would of rather done performance mods first.

But it looks like you have the foggy headlight syndrome..either get black housing headlights or clear corner ones.

if you want to go fast.

intake, pcm, better gas, hv3, downpipe, powerlog, catback, er rockers.

if you want to look good.

tint, lowered, rims, hood, slp gen 1 spoiler, headlights, grills, airdam, exhaust tips.


beward the modding. its addictive. at first all i wanted was to run was a 13.9 second 1/2 mile. now i want to shoot for 12's.

ph and the bose sounds better if you have the 7-band equalizer.

clear corners would look really clean on your white car

but you should look into projector lights, the output is 100x better than stock.

You can buy the hole headlight set off Ebay (headlights/corners)

Clear corners: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/97-03-PO ... 06.c0.m245

Black housing ones: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/97-03-PO ... 06.c0.m245

I recommend using the stock headlight harness when you install them..the harness that comes with these lights suck.

Definitely get tints and that stereo system you want first. You can install the stereo yourself for cheap, all you need is a harness and patience to connect all the wires. After that you should have at least $1500 so I'd upgrade the appearance with the projector headlights and tinted tail lights.

Good luck w/ running 13.9 in a 1/2 mile, Kyle!

modding is extremely addictive. My bank account shows that. :(

Anyway, do a CAI, because you'll gain a good amount of power with that, and some gas millage, too.

Then for appearance.. well, that's your call. personally, I'd do tint, maybe some different rims, a spoiler, and projectors!

lol, I've already spent around 10K on my car- and last last I made 15K. So ya... most of the money went into my car and I'm doing the same thing all over again. Unfortunately I've only made 5K this year so far.
