+1 on the gas pedal mod.

I agree with all you guys about you get what you pay for. I found that out on my truck. The best thing to do is keep it clean!

Out of work, means you have time. Best thing you can do is grab tooth brushes and q-tips and detail the heck out of your car while you have the time. About the only 'free' thing you can do.

You can always wet sand your headlights. More then likely they are foggy.

Sorry, I'm of no help to the OP, but I'm hopefully picking up an '02 GT Vert today, and it has, what appears to be, tiny hash marks on the headlights. Almost looks like they were stressed at some point, but it has a clean carfax. I think it's just age. Are there solutions to cleaning that up?

By the way, I'm open to hear cheap mods as well.

Is the "gas pedal mod" to fix the slop in the pedal?

One free item that will improve the looks...
Cut a little off of the coil springs to get it out of the clouds. Just be careful not to cut too much. If you do, you will lose too much of the suspension travel range without increased resistance and hit the bumpstops easier. You could probably drop the ride height by ~3/4" without any major issues.

Some basic maintenance is always good...
Some items are more time consuming than costly.
Pull the plugs and check the gap and look for excessive wear or fouling. Clean them and re-gap them (always a good idea to torque plugs to prevent over-tightening). Replace fuel filter. Replace brake fluid. Get under car and clean any and all greasy, oily dirt from motor, trans and chasis (it is dead weight, ugly, and hinders simple cooling of components).

Good luck finding some work!!!
