your opinion, what do you want to do? you can spend lots on performance and maybe only get like 50hp, or you could spend alot on looks and have a nice looking car. its up to you man

ooo if you dont have a job, you need to make sure you have some money saved incase something happens, say your transmission goes out and it costs a grand to fix it, so unless your parents are gonna pay for something when it breaks, make sure you have money saved

i would say go for looks man, maybe exhaust too, but mostly looks. Just my 2 cents. performance ends up costing you more than you think, and youre really not getting that much out of it.

no you dont have to change it. if your exhaust guy knows what he is doing he can just make it come out from underneath your bumper thats on it now, thats how man is

no u can run dual exhaust with the stock bumper. u can either run the tips under the bumper, cut a half circle in the bumper where the exhaust exits, or get a gt bumper

uhmm go to abcexclusive or cervinis. I dont really think you can find painted body kits, and paint will run you about 2 probably, just a guess.
