if you were me...
My front lip and rims need to be re-painted. The lip is covered in rock chips unfortunately, you cant tell they are there unless you're looking for them. My rims are sprayed flat black, and they look good, but could use some touching up.
Here is my question to you guys, if you were me, would you spend the money to make the exterior perfect, or spend the money on exhaust and intake?
Appearance? Or Performance?
Thanks in advanced for your input!

I have that Same set up. There is a lack in low end power when u put those things in. But I love it the way it sounds

I'm going to have to disagree with the majority and go with lip and wheels. Don't cut corners; take it one piece at a time.
