Let's imagine - you have stock Tib (or another car). What mod would you start with?

I've selected exterieur. Like a bodykit to let it look sweet (already does laugh.gif: )

But I wanna say it totally depends. Some cars already look nice stock and some just only after a few mods. On the other hand at the moment I'm single so I'd go for the outside first and the engine second.

On the other hand it's awesome to have a 'sheep-car'. Just a stock Tibby and pull the hell away with F/I, especially with a T/C. Maybe even play with them a little bit, half throttle and when they think they are gonna beat you, pwn all their asses tongue.gif:

From a performance and looks standpoint.. the best and first mod should be Rims and performance tyres . Not only does this increase the handling of the car, but it makes a HUGE change in it's looks, AND it allows you to use what power the car has. If you do not have to stop or slow down to turn, you can better use the power your stock car has to it's greatest advantage.

That could also be a performance mod as well. If you went with lighter rims.

Mmm, could tires be the best first mod?

As it affects, handling/performance/looks ?

I think full suspension would be a good first mod. Wouldnt make the car any faster but you would not only make the car look better but your handeling would be improved tenfold.

I always do the sound system first. Invest in a high quality single DIN deck and you can always remove it and put it in your next car, no lost $ when you sell like with performance/exterior mods. Speakers are also easy to take with you or sell. A good system is the only truly necessary mod for me and the best for the money. smile.gif

Second mod would be rims/tires depending on what came stock, followed by intake/exhaust.

I always start with the motor first. I've done this with every vehicle I've owned mostly cause I feel they looked good enough when I bought them.
