Okay so i need some real advice!!
I already have an Intake, headers, and a borla muffler (getting pipe made soon) And ive come to the conclusion that there's not much i can do powerwise to my GT unless a turbo (which i dont have money for) so I stopped focusing on that. Now i cant decide what to do... here are my options: save up for a turbo or swap Paint the car for now work on suspension install bodykit then wait get new stuff for my interior (gauge plates, seat covers, fix convertible top) the problem is that i never get what i NEED, i always geting what i WANT, so i need ur advice. Obviously Money is the issue...more expensive it is, the more time its gonna take me to get it done for exampe, $100 dollars = 1-2 weeks so if i get the car painted 1st, i have to wait around a month. so i need ur advice what to do??

whats up man, since money is the issue (and it seems you already have the body kit)
1. install bodykit 2. kill 2 birds with one stone. paint car AND bodykit (you dont want to pay to paint car then pay to paint the kit parts and have to worry about paint being exactly the same on top of the $ issue) 3. fix up car (vert interior pieces etc) 4.suspension 5.save for swap thats what i did (sorta) for my first swap. give yourself time to learn your car and enjoy it! then saving for a swap will make it all the sweeter! im sure most of the guys here will agree with #1 and #2.
