Default Help Me Spend My Tax Return: Which Mod To Get Next????

It's that time of year again. I always use my tax return $ for mods. What shall it be this year? I can't descide between a Specter Werkes Rear Fascia, AR Headers w/ catted x pipe, or save the money towards a banging system.

I leave it to you, my C5 peers to descide my next major mod!!!!

I can tell you for a 30% commision charge.
If that is the only 3 choices, then I would save the money for more mod power. But hey,..........that's me. Modding your own car is a personal choice that only you can make. Do what you like, not what other people like. What ever you choose, I hope you are happy with your decision.

I'm more reasonable. I only charge 15% of your tax return

Ya, heads/cam would be a more desirable mod. But while my car is still under warranty, i'm not gonna mess with the internals yet. The headers would be a nice addition. Last time my car was dyno'd it was at 378hp/376tq, hopefully the headers would get me to 390's,

That is, if I descide to go with the headers. I'm gonna wait til the return shows up i my account, and what ever the highest vote is at, then that's what it'll be.

I'd go for power and sound before looks. Get the headers!!! I would vote for heads/cam package first though.

Headers have a pretty strong lead. Looks like I better contact Rick @ Synergy.
