Sounds good, but if you want faster accelleration as well as "bling" factor, 16" rims are the way to go.
Everything else sounds like you're on the right track.  Oh, if you really want "go" then ditch the body kit as well. (Can you tell I'm a fan of sleepers???) Body kits sometimes do look REALLY good, but they can also look REALLY bad and with all the weight they add, I don't find them to have quite the bang for the buck. I'm just anti-kit, though, so do your own thing. Can't wait to see pics!

yeah i am more for show rather than go, so i would like to stick with the body kit and 17'' rims. Especially since the paint job is pretty crazy. But i would love to put in exhaust and intake just to give the car a little more speed...

I'm totally down for all show. But if you want any go, you'll need some internal engine work for exhaust and intake to do much for speed. Those alone won't get you anything more than just slightly better throttle response and a cool sounding car depending on which ones you go with. I have both on my car, and other than look/sound cool, they haven't helped me all too much that i know of at least. I'd like to dyno my car though to get a baseline before I really start modding my engine, so then I'll know how much my intake and exhaust did or didin't help my power by.
