OK here's a question for everybody: If you had $12,000 - $20,000 to spend on a basically stock S, what mechanical mods/upgrades would you do? (Engine/drivetrain/chassis - no body or audio stuff)

What do you want from the car? Do you want aesthetic mods to make it look good or do you want to go fast?

If you just want to keep it fairly stock then rims, exhaust, intake, hardtop(?), lips, spoilers, etc.

If you want to go faster, I suggest you start reading the forced induction section on here. You don't have to go balls to the wall crazy but you could go with a stage 1 kit and just have more available power if you want more ummph from the car. But getting into boost is a slippery....expensive slope...ask me how I know

I'm definitely more interested in going fast.......although I still want the car to look stylish. I'm 35 so I prefer the sleeper/clean look over decals & spoilers if you know what I mean.
