Sharpie "Z" ??

BTW - OP, you didn't mention budget or type (performance, handling, appearance). Without that to narrow your search down, you might as well throw darts at a catalog of car parts and pick one that way.

exhaust? The bumper duct adds no performance but the Sharpie Z is good for any car show on earth.

If you have not done so already, maybe look into going to an auto-x or other track events. Mod the driver, and then mod the car. Would you rather be a slow driver driving a fast car, or a fast driver driving a slower/stock car. Just my $.02

Im not really working on a budget, not saying that I dont have one... cause I cant just afford whatever I want, I'm just looking for some ideas on things to save for.

Im going to get some megans racing coil overs in a month or so when ive got the cash for them, but thats about the only other item im looking at besides some varrstoen wheels and new tires... and rolling the rear fenders.

Oh, and thanks to the idea you gave im gonna go sand down my Brembo's and paint them flat black with some $.96 a can paint from wally world and then get a nice pink paint pen and throw a HUGE Z on the calipers

Zakk Wylde killed him in a guitar duel once... he lost some of the coolness after that, but hes still got that sweet jerry curl going on so I might think about it

Zakk Wylde blows!

On a serious note... If your going to get coils, look into a camber/toe kit... they run around 160-180...

I would like to see proof of this, Slash is a far better overall and more complete guitar player than Zakk Wylde will ever be
