Ok, I've never modded a car before in my life, and I hadn't planned on it until I visited this forum. Some of you guys have modded your cars to look so amazingly awesome that I think I want to take on the project of doing it myself. So here are pics of my cars and I'm asking based on these pics, my cars color, and what it already has, in your opinion, what do you guys think would look good and be good addons to do? I see some mod jobs on the road and they look absolutely terrible so I want to get advice from someone that knows what they're doing. Ultimately in the end it will be my own decision on what I decide to do, but I'd like some opinions on what could look good.

Appearance wise ponybuilder.com can help you see what you would like your car to look like. It doesn't have every product on the market but it still has a decent selection. As for performance, exhaust (single or dual, either way check out the exhaust sound clip sticky), intake, and tune are the common mods.

It sounds like you are asking about appearance mods mainly. Check out Baltimore Street Mods. They offer a wide variety of vinyl stripe kits. This is a do-it-yourself mod if you have the patience. If my car was your color, I would go with a single wide white stripe down the middle (the SS Superstripe style), with the single thin stripe on either side of the wide one (also in white). Side window louvers also look good on this body style.

Lowering the suspension is also a great improvement in the looks department.

Except for the color, yours has exactly what mine had on it when I got it from the dealer. All I can say is the thing I would try to redo is get the Cervini's B2 kit. The hood is extended 3 inches, and the other stuff you can add on like the rims, rear window louvers and chin spoiler just set it off. I think it's awesome, but I already put a hood scoop on and I dont want to change it. Maybe when income tax rolls around

I'm looking at things in terms of appearance right now. I'll do performance later. I'm thinking about dual exhaust, but I'm also interested in body kits, stripes, grills, fog lights, perhaps additional spoilers or a different rear spoiler and maybe wheels (but nice wheels are so expensive). Whats good in the above areas?

Edit: I'd also like to lower the rear of the car, I think there's way too much space between the body and the rear tires. How hard is this to do?

Lower It!! For $250 it's one of the cheapest mods, and makes a huge
difference in the appearance of your car.

remember when modding is to have fun and dont listen to anyones BS. Do what you like, i remember when i first started modding, look at magazines, books, and forums to get your info. Be careful of forums, a lot of BS is out there, luckily for you is that you have this forum!!! about 95% of this forums info is pretty good. Welcome to the club man!!!
