first off welcome to MM

here is my rant for ya

EXHAUST- since its a sixer there isnt gonna be much difference in power. most people prefer long tube headers, h pipe and either magnaflow or flowmaster mufflers. i went with divorced duals and flowmaster mufflers

STANCE - get a good set of wheels first. ive often thought about a body kit but just lowering it will give it a good look. i havent lowered mine yet but a good 1.5" - 2" drop will do just fine

DASHBOARD LIGHTS - if you are wanting blue gauges the easiest way to do it is get reverse glow inserts. i actually just put mine in a couple of days ago and they look awesome.

pics and vids will follow

edit: here ya go

I'd definitely say lower it instead of a body kit. Never been a huge fan, though I can see why people like them. Just not worth it and it looks much cleaner if you just lower it and keep the body somewhat stock.

And about the exhaust, check out videos and listen to which one you think sounds the best. I, like most people, prefer the H with Magnaflows or Flowmasters.
