oh yea, since we are on the subject, this is something that i find weird... is it just me, or is how your engine looks not important at all... i mean, i know that if you have a show car, it's important for the engine bay to be clean and polished and pretty and so forth, but as for me and my car, what it looks like under my hood is that absolute last thing on my priority list... i dont know, it just seems like a lost cause tryin to keep something so messy as an engine bay looking clean and presentable, especially when everything else in my car needs work... maybe it's just me, i dont know
people go for cross drilled/slotted rotors and such, that's mainly what i was thinking aboutBrakes have no priority, they are done whenever needed

Engine swap. (already have engine in parts on my garage floor)
Stereo install (already have the stereo parts, just need to get the box wrapped in vinyl or painted)
Paint (need one panel repainted where a repair went bad. Already had the whole care repainted, so shouldn't cost too much just to repaint the one panel)
Interior (Don't have jack yet. Want to reupolster seats in neoprene and replace the armest inserts to match.
Exhaust (Also don't have any of this yet. Still not sure what all I'll do with headers and/or custom or Pacesetter exhaust.)

I agree with you to a point an the engine compartment thing. Mine looks like a big friggin mess right now, and I really dont care. I'd like it to look nice cause when people go, "what you got in there?" its kinda embarrasing to pop the hood. My Subaru Legacy engine compartment look like a freakin nightmare, but once they saw the t3 knowone really cared! LOL

as far as importance goes.. i'd say:
Suspsension
Wheels
Engine
Exhaust
Body Styling
Audio
Interior Styling
gotta get the handling down first (suspension/wheels), and then you know how to drive it, so add some power (engine) with all accessories (exhaust). By that time you wanna be different to show off da skillz (body styling) and you need some tunes (audio) to go with your car, which you ride in all the time comfortably (interior).![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
