What to spend my money on now..?

[true520]

Hey guys,

I have the 2005 6spd.

I am VERY VERY Pleased with the results of my splurging thus far.

I added the 4.56 gearing (and I must add, everyone Not on this site, including my mechanic told me not to do it too)

I also added the Magnaflow muffler as well.

So, what should I do next?

supercharger!!!!!!!

[eric-mpd]

Now that you can get a speeding ticket in five seconds or less you should do some appearance mods.

Yeah, I was thinking of a few items in that direction too. Mine has a TON of rock chips on the rear fender-walls...original owner added the running boards around the 50,000 mile mark..she has 62k now. I think I may remove the running boards and see if I like that look better...will have to replace those little fender covers tho.

What else tho, I think she looks pretty sweet with the factory set up..

supercharger!!!!!!!

I was actually leaning that way !

have you done a supercharger on the 6.0? If so, what all should I expect...tunning and expense...and of course seat of the pants feel! ?

Front splitter, rear wing (not a separate but attached wing). Murth mirrors (so you can see the blinkers flashing - can't see em' in the dash and can't hear em' with the top down), Chrome Package (est) if you don't have it yet and oh the list goes on...

Go for handling, shocks, sway bars, upper, lower control arms ..new X member and stiffening plate. A nice set of sticky summer tires

Joe can help you with some of this as well, as can Mike in AZ.
I vote for handling.

I am liking the wing idea...I will have to check more into that.

What is a "front splitter"

[Achias]

Eibach lowering springs.

They make the R look more like a beast than a pickup truck, and they help the handling too. Not too expensive either and the rears are a snap to change (may need gearhead help with the fronts).

For bling:

Stainless steel grill combination, fuel door, and Corvette rear license plate frame.

Oh, and Simple Engineering 5" exhaust tips.

LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD

[Waldo-Jr]

Add some jewelry : Billet grill inserts - front, Mike’s 5: stainless tips - rear, and RED calipers & brackets – sides. I have just completed this threesome on my Black Beauty. Very, Very pleased with the results !

[true520]

Got the Air depressor. Thanks,

I am loving the other ideas too.

I like the idea of adding color to the middle of the leather seats...like BMWs do with the M-5 seats...but mine is the Blue-blurr...will have a hard time making a match there...LOL

I also think I will get the lower front spoiler and the rear wing (like on Mike in Orlando's Black one)

mine currently has running boards and I am thinking of taking them off anaid having the rear fender pieces replaced this spring...think I will wait till then to spend money on the spoiler(s)

Thanks again!

The seat centers don't have to match the paint, you can use any complementary color.
