Next Mod? Performace or Cosmetic?

[AustinWithrow]

So I just installed my Borla catback system on my 2012 V6, and I love the sound she has now. I just have more stuff I want to do to it, but I don't really know what I want to do next... and I need some help. I am either thinking about going with the CAI intake, or Catch Can for performace, or go with some stripes and window tint for my next mod? which one do you guys think? and my build thread will be uploaded soon, and will have a link!

what's your budget if i may know

I did cosmetic first cuz that's what is seen on the outside. Just IMO. It's always hard to decide what to do next anyway. :o

CAI, unleash some more power. Wait on the CC if you are going to get a SC.

I wouldn't necessarily call a catch can a performance mod... More like a preventative maintenance mod... Definitely worth while, but you will feel absolutely nothing.

Throw a catch can on it, they're pretty cheap, spend the rest of your wad on window tint... Then throw a cold air intake on it the next time you want to spend some money.

well, if unlimited budget there's tons of modification from exterior & interior to performance.

performance & handling

-. coilovers. if you're on low budget i suggest you to go with bc coilovers, if not you can go with pfadt, pedders on kw variant 3.
-. supercharger. IPF.
-. since your car is lfx, meaning dont have headers, you can change to high flow catalyc converter.
-. catch can.
-. sway bars & end links (there's tons of brand in here, check vendor section.)
-. Strut bar.
-. CAI by CAI inc.
-. catback exhaust or axle back.

cosmetics :

-. splitter (acs or stillen, this is by far is my two fave on the market.)
-. rear diffuser (gm gfx, havoc, and many more).
-. side skirts, (Gm gfx, or the zl1 side skirt).
-. grills (gm herritage grill or zl1 grills).
-. spoiler (it depends on your taste, there's a high wing spoiler like mine, or mpd, there's tons of it.)

interior :

-. rear seat delete, if you dont use it. it save some weight like (i guess 15-20lbs)
-. ABL lighting
-. footwell lighting
-. painted speedometer bezel, and trim kit.
-. pedals.

Don't combine the IPF S/C with high-flow cats. It hasn't been good for the folks that did.

Catch Can first. Keep that oil mist out of the new clean intake. I get .25 oz every 6-700 miles which means I passed 2.5 oz through my intake before I bought a catch can. Wish I would have done it right from the dealership.
Cold Air Intake second - Take time and research all the options to see what is right for you. I opted for the best filteration I could find before all the claimed HP gains.
Window tint last.

Catch can

CAI

Throttle body

Then start your exterior mods. Grill, splitter,

Definitely get the catch can first. Legal window tint to help you and your car's interior. Maybe some white LED DRLs, dome light, and license plate light. Cold air intake isn't a bad idea either. What about a front splitter?

Just ordered my stripes tonight, then catch can tomorrow. Saturday I will probably end up buying the P13W plasma drl bulbs, and the smoked tint for all my lights, and the LED License plate kit. I want to do a different dome light.. but what kind of bulb does it take? and I really want a CAI. but a front splitter would be nice as well. any suggestions on front splitter?
