New car: body kits or special plates?

[arvie1]

I'm going to get my brand new Mitsubishi Lancer EX MX this January 2011 and my problem is..

My parents let me choose, if:

BODYKIT THAN SPECIAL PLATE (consist of 2 numbers only)

OR

SPECIAL PLATE THAN BODYKIT (Pero hindi na nila ihandle yung expense, siguro a year after na to, through my money na.)


HELP me what to CONSIDER?


TIA!

kung gusto mong kumarera, body kits na. pero kung habol mo individuality, special plates. once you put body kits on your car, hindi ka na titigil sa pag-set-up ng sasakyan mo. at even after, let's say 10 years, feeling mo may kulang pa sa mga sinalpak mo sa sasakyan mo.

Special Plate for me! Body kits, madali ikabit, madali tanggalin at madali ding palitan. Special Plate, sa iyo na yan. Pag nag regular plate ka, mahirap magpapalit sa special plate.

Neither. Mags and tires.

body kit pang karera?

yeah... body kits make cars go faster

[kojie]

Neither. Mags and tires.

:stupid: + brakes

Personally, I hate bodykits. Well, the overdone ones.

And, I personally hate the plates starting with P's, too.

So between the two, I'd get the latter -, plates. But if you're open to other options, then get a new set of rims / tires ( 18's ) instead AND a GT-A spoiler. Now, that's ***y.

Stock breaks would suffice if high-level engine modifications, such as turbo-ing the car aren't done.

And changing the breaks aren't required if you change the mags and tires.

Niky's advice is worth considering, especially it is seen that the TS has the moolah to do so.

And placing the " im with stupid " emoticon is really irrelevant.

I'd go for mags na lang instead of special plates or body kits.
I also had the same situation when I got my car weeks ago, ang special plate na 2 digits ata is like 35k right? nagpa ascending 3 number plates na lang ako.
then my dad told me pag tumagal na lang daw he'll get me some tires and rims. un lang mas mahal yun. haha!

plates.

Ang swerte naman ng mga batang ito!



Given the opportunity, just get what you can get while your dads are willing to give them to you.

Not a fan of body kits, so I'd go for special plates.

unless he adds a hundred hp to the engine

how many people here replace stock brakes anyway?

people here don't even bother upgrading brake pads

[vinj]

IF to answer your question, go for the plates

But for me... just save mommy and daddy some cash and get neither or go for a larger set of tires and rims (the EX MX has 16" right?).

[vinj]

double post

[renzo_d10]

Sorry .... my bad.

[digitel]

I'd probably choose special plates given that opportunity, then just add body kits later on.

But replacing your mags and tires with a GTA spoiler might do as well.

[Starex_Gold]

Kung mabibigyan ka pa ng extra cash, mags and tires, probably the OEM 18s of the GT-A variant.

But between the two choices, Special Plates ako.
Pareho sila naka special plates


Maganda pag puro 8 ang number

Special plates na. Body kits are not very practical as they are always the first casualties when subjected to the cruelty of our roads as well as steep parking ramps and other uneven terrain. You may want to consider the rims though, it makes the car look more formal as compared to the body kit. Perhaps some 18's or 19's are in order?

[arvie1]

Yun lang kasi yung choices na binigay sa akin mga sir. I think tama nga naman, anytime pwede magadd ng bodykit, pero special plate, yun na yun e, mahirap naman kung tsaka ka na magpaspecial plate.

Yung wheels naman, still on canvass mode ako, siguro by midyear 2011 tsaka ako magpalit ng 18s, budget 50k to 55k with tires. Checked BCC * Banawe, quote nila sa akin ng DTM D1 4pcs with SUNNY TIRES = 55k. Meron din ako nakitang ADVAN COPY 18" din bigay nila 37k without tires.

OT: Okay ba DTM RIMS and SUNNY TIRES or SHOULD I GO FEDERAL/NANKANG?

HELP din to choose the RIGHT BRAND of MAGS and TIRES(EXCEPT CONCEPT ONE AND ROTA MUNA), but the NOT SO EXPENSIVE ONES.

TIA!
