Bah I can't decide
So either spend some money on an MPD1 Cowl hood for my beast, or throw down some money for suspension. Done with performance mods, and I know suspension upgrades would do me some good, but that cowl hood looks so menacing! Decisions decisions....

I'm leaning towards the mpd hood, and after chatting with Eric, hard not to, great dude. What's your turnaround on a hood at this time E?

It is an interesting decision to purchase a mod that is aesthetic only vs one that will make your car run better. It is not bad, but it is interesting, and the same decision process that leads someone to a 1LE vs a 2SS.

I guess it depends to me on if the standard 2010 1SS suspension really needs to be upgraded or if it's good from the factory....keep in my mind I have 65k miles on her

Long tubes and cats, intake and exhaust and Diablo trinity with a JRE tune. I'm leaning towards suspension due to high miles on the car

Suspension mods are both performance and appearance...lowered stance, less roll in the corners, less drive train deflection. Go 1" BMR springs, pro-version total bushing kit, front and rear sway bar/end links. It will look badass and handle better too. All the parts will run you about $1200-1500. Here a picture of my old 2010 after the suspension mods.
