    Default I suck at prioritising... Need your input!

    Well I've saved quite a bit of money in the last month - Now to blow it...


    One of the 3 choices...


    -Get my caved in quarter panel repaired at a shop and have my car straight again
    -Buy a new headunit, sub+box and amp/other wiring etc
    -Buy second hand rims and tires

    My cars already lowered, headers, 2.5" exahaust, has aftermarket speakers etc.


    Please guys, give me your 2cents and discuss...

    you suck at prioritising?

    my engine is broken and instead of fixing it i've recently got $1100 of bodykit bits which is sitting in my room

    get the car straight first no point trying to make it look good with wheels when its not clean
    could do sound first, leave wheels until last though

    I'd get your car fixed first. Your speakers can handle your sound system can handle your metal right now. It'll just have to wait to sound a lot more sonic I guess

    I'm in the same dilema right now - trying to decide what to do to my car first.

    But if it has to be on the car, then get it straight first.
    You will get a lot less negative attention in a straight clean car than you will in a dented-in, lowered, doof-doof hoon-mobile.

    yeah.. fix the panel. Otherwise if you put new mags on, they will draw more attention to the dent..

    I hate having dents on my car, people look at them and I am sure they think I am a crap driver..even thogh the only dents I had were not my fault..

    Yeah it sucks... I cam out to my car which was parked in street parking to find some tool had hit the drivers rear quarter panel and rear passenger door and scraped my mag while they were at it..

    No note left, so while insurance took their time it looked really crap.. I hate driving my car with dents...

    My quarter panel was kicked in by this idiot.... A certain idiot who tried to fight me and lost.

    I will get it repaired, if I ever get a spare moment off work to even scratch my arse!

    9-5 has to be the worst business hours ever.

    Sort out the body first. I'm usually on the side of performance over "show" however I'd always prefer the body to be at least straight and have reasonable paint!
