Performance! That is my plan because appearance has been the path for alot of ppl because its cheaper and draws attention. I draw enough attention already, I just wanna go faster.....
Mods planned for spring:
GM Stage 1-3
Injen CAI
Borla Exhaust
Headers
B&M Short shifter
DC strut bar
Weapon R engine dampener

Personally there are a few "essential" appearance things I'd to right away. One of those is window tint... I also got a shorty antenna b/c I can't stand the huge stock one. After that.... definately go for performance.

If you really think about it, the car has both right from the factory. I think a lot of people are going the appearance route right now, just waiting for the stage kits to come out.

I would go performance first. Nothing like taking a (insert unsuspecting car here that edges us out stock) and blowing it away, while looking stock. 
Depends on what springs you do.

I have my 8k HID kit (not installed yet) and then I plan on getting Stage 1 and putting a smaller pulley on myself
