You gotta pick what you want first

Performance or looks

If you have 3500 get a used Vortech Kit and make 360 to the wheels

Otherwise just spend the money on coils and wheels

Bodykit you mentioned will probably be under your budget to buy and paint so you'll have SOME cash left over...

I would do Vortech simply because so far its one of the best HP mods I ever did

Tempting as that is its my daily and an AT. I don't see much point in doing any sort of FI on an AT... might just be personal pref.

I do want some performance but not spend that much on pure performance thus the MD parts.

Ok so I'm looking to upgrade the look of my car. I'm gonna get tints and thinking of an aftermarket spoiler and maybe a lip. The reason I'm posting here is cuz I don't see many LakeShore blue G coupes here. Its kinda tough to figure out what some mods will look like on this color.

I see somewhere towards the beginning of this post 'Mystic Eyes' posted some pics of an LS Blue G coupe. Did you ever do the mods that you mentioned?

Does anyone else have a coupe with this color? If so, can you post some pics of your mods?

Thanks for the help

What kind of look are you going for? I have a lakeshore slate G and I've done some minor things that are going to add to the overall look of the car when it's complete. I know where I'm heading with mine; just taking it step by step.

It all depends on what you personally like. I personally am going for a lakeshore slate and black theme. I think it looks sick and haven't seen many Gs that have that theme. I have the ionic gialla replica grill, tinted clear corners, bluebat overlays on my taillights, and tinted windows. I recently bought some blacked out headlights and they'll be going on soon hopefully along with getting my rear valence over-layed black.

What lip and spoiler are you looking at? What other mods are you considering?

Thats sweet, I was actually leaning towards the black theme myself, I think it'll look great on this color but needed some pics.

For now, I was thinking tinted windows and tails, spoiler (Ionic maybe), and a lip but not sure which one.

Would you be able to post some pics?

Get an OEM lip. They are sexy. Plus mine is for sale

Define budget..

but before that, I'd be nice to have an idea of what you want your car to do (or look like)...

knowing where you're at, and where you want to be, along with your budget, should calculate a nice line for you to follow... best of luck!
