anything's possible, you might not be able to mod it at a fast rate.. but you'll get it over time
As someone else who doesn't have a huge budget I agree to do it a little at a time and do your homework, it saves alot of cash to get it right the first time.

I think I like building a car better this way, if I had the money and did everything I possibly could to the car right away I think I'd get bored with it a lot quicker, for me there's always more stuff I can think about doing with it.

Check out the VIP sub-forum... all the info you need and more is in there.

To sum it up... First thing you need to get done is wheels and stance... it will make your car or break it.

keep your car stock until you start making more money. there is no point having a modded GS with no cash in the wallet or bank account. Start building a nest egg first. Your gonna need emergency money and maintenance, insurance, gas, etc....

Looks like someone has PMS..hahah....first mods you can start with is picking out the right wheels and drop the car..Take pride and inspiration of doing this. You can check out some of our friendz here..Many has come a long way of getting their cars to what is call VIP. You can get to VIP over night, spend years, hard work and lots of money..And if you only make $500 a month..Just save your money and when you save enough then burn it all...!!

I love the MRR's. I'm ordering my set from derrick this week =)

The only thing is the fitment isn't the best... you'd need to roll with some spacers all around. at least 15mm
