yup, I agree 1000%. which is what we plan on doing with Jewel's car. we got the long tubes for cheap, as you know, lol. she already had the rotofab and mrt exhaust. nitrous is bought. just need a few more things for the nitrous and then install. oh, I did just buy her a ice-olator. other than that, just going to do appearance, and probably suspension.

But I agree, you want fast, get the SS or a much lighter car with cheaper to mod. Although, there is a place for racing v6's. It's people's own money, it's priceless to see a v6 beat a v8.
Yeah, it is, especially when you are the one behind the wheel of the V6!

Sounds like me with my headers. Between buying the Xbox, building my PC, and getting a new TV it will be a long while till I can get the BBKs and everything that goes along with the install. At least it gives me time to see what happens with HP tuners

Yep, that is why I am in no rush. I rather do it right the first time. I figure I should have it install in the fall. There is another things I want to do first. Like pay off the loan and install the hood insert.

Hey I'm new and I have the performance bug. I do it to all my vehicles. I am a gear head and love cars. I am looking for a good size tire and rim setup. I have a 2011 v6 convert yellow rs with about 12500 miles on it. Honestly I just want two more stock rear tires to put on the front if anyone can help. I will start bolting on as soon as more money comes rolling in. For now I'm just enjoying my ride.

I would post in your regional forum or in the classifieds stating you are looking for two rear wheels. Might have more success there.

Yup I plan do them in the next year or so. I wanted to do them for Christmas and I still might do them over the TV just have to see the way things go. If something ever happens to my tv there is a spare one in my house that I can use that is the same quality as my current TV just a little smaller. I know that in August I will have my PC built and ready for my Junior year of college.

Yep, mine is still sportin' the dealer-installed swirls from when I bought it plus the rock chips and Paul-installed scratches during mods

Full paint correction, some opticoat and learn how to wash/dry and your car will look better than the new cars at dealerships
