Default mod help

After posting this in the wrong section and embarassing myself, I will try again to ask some veterans for help.
I finally got my hid kid for my headlights and foglights in, so its time to order something else!

I was hoping someone could give me some advice about the next set of parts/mods to order. If anyone has some crazy appearance mods that are anywhere from a simple to medium difficulty to do, let me know! I already know im replacing all of my interior leds, but if there is anything unique and light related please tell me!

Also, for performance mods, I was wondering if anyone could offer me any advice about underdrive pulleys, throttlebodies, mafs, and manifolds. I am pretty sure I am going to go with the FAST setup so I can direct port my nitrous, but at this point my project has just begun and nothing is definite.

Please help the noob!

I thought it would be illegal to do something like that to a kid.........

Default Gears?

You didn't mention what gear ratio you're running in the differential. Going to a 3.42 vs a 315 or a 273 in a Vette with an auto tranny, for example, will make a big difference in your cars performance.
