I dont know what I should do im at a crossroads here. Ive worked all summer and have desided to put about a grand into my car. Im already getting a GIAC chip so there goes 300 but I dont know if I should make the car look cooler (RS4 bumper and side skirts) or worry more about performance (water/meth injection, Borla cat back exhaust). I have a pretty big ding on the front bummer which can be quite an eye sore. Any ideas?

The previous owner that had the car just got a new set of TPT Proxes do you think these would be good in the snow?

Proxes TPT's are all season tires, so they are not excellent in any specific weather, they are just decent in all types. they will work, but you would get much better traction with some dedicated blizzak snow tires, and keep your proxes' for summer use. you are in RI, good snow tires will make a world of difference in snow storms.

Blizzaks are good... I hear nothing but rave reviews on Hakkapeliitta snow tires. A little pricey but I hear they wear better than Blizzaks.

Thanks for your help guys I decided im just going to wait and see how things go I got my car about a month ago and have just been mod happy since. I havent even gotten it inspected yet because ive been on vacation on and off since then. I need to do alot of odds and ends on the car so im doing good being patient before I do anything stupid. Winter isnt for a few months anyway and ill make a decision later on.
