Default Performance or looks

Im getting a late refund check back from school for my finacial aid. I already paid of school so i get the whole 3 grand. im tring to figure out how to spend some of it. what would you do? performance or looks. if i go performance its going to be a little cheaper i want troyers underdrive pulley kit plus what ever programmer i can get with custom tunes. if i go looks i want to get the Ram Air Hood with active hood, with a crome grill. dont know if i want an aftermarket grill or the chome grill's that come stock from ford(i have the black plastic one right now).

well if i get the hood i going to need to get rid of my K@N and use their version of the CAI so i dont know about that. also troyer doesnt have the headers or electric fan so thats out of the question. Since i dont know what i will do with My CAI i might just wait on it i dont know yet.

while im thinking about it. troyer said they dont have an electric fan because the 2010's came with them stock do you think i got install one of those and do you think it would be worth it(performance wise HP/MPG).

Put a grand into an emergency fund.
Then use the rest for performance upgrades.
2010's come with Electric fans?
Check under the hood?
If they do then leave the stockers alone.
Does troyer have the udps?
If they do go that route but a programmer may be needed to bump up the idle.
Just some thoughts.

Peace!

Thats what the guy at troyer told me is that they came stock with Electric fans. I have a 09 thats why i was asking if its worth putting a stock one from a 2010 in mine. (sorry should of said the year of my truck). Yes troyer does have the underdrive pulleys its the same as the 04-08 since its the same motor. Also im waiting to here from Bill's trip to utah to decide. If the gryphons available im ordering next week or as soon as possible if not im ordering the XCAL 3 as soon as possible (with custom tunes)

Oh yeah i wasnt planing on spending all of it i was planning on putting at least a grand back but if i go performance then should be a little bit more.

Invest some, then spend the rest on performance parts!
