There are so many choices in modding its hard to decide. I would say first try to decide the look you are after and start building from there. Also there are small interior upgrades like chrome accessories that would be an easy start. As you start getting into exterior mods, in my opinion, some are better done by a professional. I had my hood scoop and stripes put on by a pro and they are done perfect not a bubble in a stripe or scratch on the car.

So the stripes on the car in your pics, is that paint or decals? Either way, what do they charge to do that, looks awesome.

yeah I agree, but no way in hell am I putting low profile tires on my car lol. We travel the country 365 days, so I don't think it'd be a good idea for low profiles. But I'm definitely considering some different rims.

But there is no better addiction! My recommendation is to start with something like a deck lid panel. There's lots of choices ranging in price from $40+. It will teach you about prepping your car, doesn't require any special tools and will help you to not be afraid of making a mistake. Depending on the panel, you may have to remove your faux gas cap which will also give you an idea of how to remove certain parts and how to replace them if necessary.

Good luck and happy modding!

By the way, there are going to be times when you'll have trouble deciding on which mod or style - don't hesitate posting a question to the folks on this forum. Granted you'll get a ton of opinions and some sarcasm but it's all part of the fun of being a member of a car forum.
I like the blackouts )
