Default What to do first?

Tax time has come and im thinking about doing the first basic mods to my monty.

would it be better to lower and put wheels on it first? or put extractors and exhaust on it??

i wanna do one of em now and the next when i move down to melb next year cause i know you guys will point me in the right direction with great deals!!

Im thinking wheels and lowering, ive got approx 1200 to spend... reckon i cold get a decent deal with lowering and wheel package?

I'd go the exhaust and extractors. I don't know that you would find decent wheels that cheap, although I may be wrong. You could have some change left over after doing the exhaust for lowering too.

most places have quoted 1100 for sports exhaust and extractors.
reckon its worth taking to to these sorts of places to get it done or buy parts seperatly and get someone to fit???

But keep in mind, exhausts are not all the same. Consider doing serious research first to make sure you get the number/type of mufflers and design of extractors that suits your budget, tolerance for noise and driving style.
