Hey guys. I've been working all winter and waiting for my income tax to come back so I have some money to spend on my baby (my P5 lol) Now I already have a C.A.I so I wanted to know your opinions on whats mods I should do.

Here is what I was thinking of doing...

- Get the rust fixed(pissed)
- Get a Racing Beat catback with some OBX headers
- Some filthy rims (got a blue car so I was thinking black or gold rims)

Now I wont do this all at once, I will do it through out the summer as I am working and still need to make the insane insurance payments. So I was just wondering which one you guys would do first or which ones you would do. Or should I save up and get some boost..........
 
GET RID OF THE RUST!!!! then get a RB cat back followed by a header (singular our cars only have a header). then if you want to really want your car to sound good, get a SLS midpipe. sound great, and youll be getting 30+ mpg on a regular basis. but definitely the rust first.
 
Not trying to be a ass but I'd just save ur money don't waste money on a turbo kit or any wild performance mods for this car it won't justify itself save money and get u a nice car with no rust
 
I'm on the same page as you guys. Everytime I look at the rust it just pisses me off so much. So the rust will get done first then I will go from there. Thanks for the opinions. Keep them coming though!

We have a really good body worker on our canadian board ... the only thing is that he lives on the south shore of montreal
 
what does it take to get rid of the rust? just an exchange of old to new parts?

if it's just surface rust and maybe a lil bubbling...sanding down to the metal...a good primer and paint


i have a few lil spots on the car and truck where a rock hit and chipped the paint, i'm just gonna sand them, get touch up primer, paint....let it sit for a while and wax
 
save money for a new car and sell the p5

I definatly don't want to do that. I love my P5 and you cant find to many new cars that look as good as this for a good price. I just have some bubbling rust at the rear wheel wells and some at the back of the running boards. Body shop said it would be like $700 to fix it.
