OK, I have finally saved up enough money to do something to my 96 Z28 M6. The only thing I have done so far is Flowmasters and a K&N filter. Now I am torn. Should I get an SS hood and a ram air intake kit or the chrome 10 spoke SS take-off wheels with tires from SLP's website? If I got the hood I would have it cut so that when the hood opens, the scoop stays on the intake on the engine, like muscle cars back in the day. Opinions?

I would get the rims, I was looking at the same choice and i chose the rims because I think it makes my car look a LOT better when compared to the salad shooters. Take a look at my sig and you'll see

Get the hood, it looks waaaay cooler. If you want GM rims, get the Z06 rims.

 

look for used wheels and hood and you can probably have both. them ofcourse get new tires.

hey, you said you had like $1300 right.

 

I would DEFINATELY get rims first, but I would pay a lil extra and get the Z06 rims.

dont get an SS hood unless you own an SS

 

I'd get the rims first.

 

Okay
so I guess you cant get the ss rims either since you dont have a real SS...
settle down man.
I have an SS hood and spoiler.. and am painfully saving up for rims, but I end up spending my cash before I achive the full amount .... if I had it to do all over again, I would have gotten the rims first, then the SS spoiler.. then the hood last.

another vote for the rims

 

I just put chrome 10 spoke SS rims. Looks like a new car but now I need a lowering kit. Looks like I have an offroading Camaro.

ya i was making the same choice like a month ago. i got the ss hood painted black for 900 it was an authentic gm hood not a reproduction and i got a set of 5 spoke silver ss rims for 400. i really want chrome 10 spokes but tese will do for now

i would get the hood first!!!

check out pics in my sig...
