Keep the stock gauges, unless you're boosting. Keep the stock shifter and use that money towards the motor/suspension. Function over fashion.

save money, theres no point to replacing the muffler with all stock pipping. Worry more about the engine(swap or turbo) n suspension first if u care about speed. If not i guess go wit some ice
