What is everyone's opinion on the first upgrades that new coupe owner should do? Exhaust, Cold air-intake, LED, . . . etc.

Ditto. There's still a lot of things to be released. Waiting a couple months is going to give you a few more options than exist now.

Full sized ceiling console out of a 98 GMC Sonoma, repaint of the entire interior with a light blue paint with a plastic resin.

I never did anything really for the outside. I enjoy utility. To each his own. Link to pics. The color didn't come out how I wanted it to.

Never was able to completely finish it (the car as a whole). :/

Drop in an LS-2 V-8, then lower it 3 inches, then get some shiny rims with spinners, then bolt a 2 foot spoiler on the back, then.........

Bud, believe me I know the difference between "there"- a place , and "their"- a possessive term, and even "they're" - a conjunction of the words they and are. Your not the only one who passed 6th grade English

I see exactly what you say about my post at the top, sorry about that. I try to be as legible as possible when writing on the forums. Its really hard to get your point across if your not.

I cringe when I see this on the NICO forums.

Like you said, cars and mods, not personal attacks under the cover of anonymity.

Makes me sad
