Hi All:
I want to purchase my fist major MOD, but I am caught in a quandary. Should I go for the Mtech Body Kit to freshen my look or new wheels? What would you do?

I personally was in the same position and I went with wheels first. The reason I picked wheels is cause my ride came with OEM 16", which is tiny. lol, and... if I went with Mtech it would look sorta off with my 16" rims. 
Just my 2 cents. If you have decent stock rims go for Mtech.

I did body kit first and the car looked good, but not great. As soon as I put the wheels on, I was snapping necks lol! DO THE WHEELS FIRST!

Thanks for your input thus far guys. I really appreciate it. Below is a picture of what I am working with. Decent stock wheels (18's; non staggered), but I think I'm leaning towards getting wheels first over Mtech Kit.

Wtlb: I really like your current wheels, I like them with the kit as well. If you were in any place other than SoCal you would've had a nice winter set with those.

I'd think that you would mod your ride because you like it yourself? Who cares whether others notice it or not?
