Help: Show vs Audio (on my car)
ive decide to either upgrade my stereo or get my wheels/ body kit
im pretty happy the way the audio goes but i could always do more.
not sure which way to go please give your opinion on which way to go and why

Rep Power: 0 I got you covered on the Rainbow Pro's..my buddy said he'll give you a great price...
I say, Upgrade the audio. Don't run a 1000w amp fr IDQ's.. just give the pair 500Wrms of class a/b power. Class D's have very slow slew rates and can noticably degrade sound quality.
Still get rims and drop the car. **** the bodykit..it's useless cladding.
Just drop it nicely and get some sick wheels.
Use the $$ you were gonna use on the body kit and get some Tein Flex coil-overs [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Werd. . . . that's the route I went, and when people see you rollin' in style, the don't necessarily notice (or care) what you're listening to. My ICE is still bone stock (for now) but the way the car looks turns PUH-LENTY of heads, and that's a lot of fun.

Rep Power: 416 not really... a system would get you noticed more... you hear nothing but bass and tweet and you look over to see who it is, you cant see them till they get louder n louder, then you finally see them.

Rep Power: 416 ya thats one thing.. you hook up your ride to get noticed... noticed as in people breakin there neck to see your car, their jaw dropping, etc... but then it also gets the cops and theives to notice your car. when cops are around i turn it down and i always turn it down a block before my destination, but ya its worth it to me tho.

Alarmage galore, smart parking methods, NOT leaving it overnight anywhere questionable. . . . once it's modded, we just have to pay attention. . . God knows other people are, right?
