Help Me Trick Out My '99 GT - Where Should I Start?

trumpet1 · October 20th, 2006, 01:17 PM

I have a '99 GT, embarassingly stock. I'm not opposed to a little bolt-on power, but I also want to generate some curb appeal. Where should I start? Some interior stuff? Some chrome under the hood? Rims? Lower body? Updated ignition system wiring? Body kit?

What should be my first 5 mods?

-Gears
-Midpipe
-Under Drive Pulleys
-JLT CAI
-Upper and Lower Control Arms

Is your car auto or manual?

4.10 gears is what you are going to want to go with...

matrixpuba · October 21st, 2006, 09:58 AM

for looks wheels and springs make a big difference.

i think he wants to know about your body kit and springs/wheels. He states in the original post that he wants to go for curb appeal not performance.

as for me, i want that sleeper look.

looks good...

matrixpuba · October 25th, 2006, 11:13 AM

thanks

trumpet1 · October 25th, 2006, 02:27 PM

Thanks, all. I see where the trend is, both for basic performance and eye candy.

One question - why change out control arms? Is that part of a lowering mod, or does it provide benefit on its own?

ChrisJ · October 26th, 2006, 02:58 AM

The stock control arms twoque and let the rear-end move...With the tubulars they dont torque and help with wheel hop and are alot stronger the stockers...
