Just sharing some pictures...they aren't great by any means but here goes...all stock.
"The 5 Family"
Okay so I'd like to do some things and of course open to any and all suggestions as well...But I was thinking (but not necessarily in this order) ...
1) M-Tech Kit
2) Wheels (Love the M166's but may be different and do something else...suggestions welcome)
3) Rear M-Tech Trunk Spoiler
4) Sprintbooster
5) Pedal Set
I guess I'll leave it at that for now...ha. Limited budget to work with, so I guess my question is how would you guys rank things in terms of priority? What would you do first? Start with the less expensive things and work up? I definitely don't hate the 124 wheels I have now, but eventually want to go bigger...should I do the wheels before the M-tech or vice versa?
Thanks everyone!
(PS this is all the boards fault...I loved my stock look until I discovered this forum!)

M-tech and rims first...the most expensive parts, but with the biggest reward. Nice garage! Someone likes 5's.

Scratch the m-tech rear spoiler and get something more like the ACS spoiler or m5 trunk lid spoiler. M-Tech looks just not right to me. Go with either the kit or rims first. Then hit up the rest afterwards. I think all you really need to make a good change, is the kit first. Your rims already look good to go. Just my opinion. GL!
