What now???

Hey guys-
I've been pack-ratting away money and it's burning a hole in my pocket so I wanna know what you guys think I should do to my T/A. I'm not to worried about engine dress-up right now. I was either thinking new wheels or a new hood with some sort of scoop. Any ideas?? (Only serious replies, no smart *** remarks )

I'd go with wheels. Nothing changes the look of a car like a set of nice wheels

how much money you have?? you could get a nice set of wheels for 2 grand and another 800 bucks for a hood..

you should get the ram air 2 hood, and a set of the firehawk rims!!!

you car would look bad a$$!!!!!!

good luck with whatever you decide to buy.

I like my hood too and I would still have it. I think I want something flashier for summer though ya know. So I'm guessing you all think wheels is the way to go huh? I have a few designs in mind but I'm not sure..... everyone on the boards always says to find GTA wheels or TT2's so the one's I ask about never get great reviews

Since you have money burning a whole in your pocket, get both hood and rims. New rims will draw more attention than a hood.

Haha, I do miss my old Camaro, but I don't think I'll ever sell my TA. To much invested already and it's a nice car. However, if I found a mint Z with a 5.7L........ might be tempting
