Default What to do next????

Ok I have a little bit of money saved for my next mod. Problem is I dont know what I want to do. Here is what I'm thinking, I can do one of them:

1. Powder Coat my wheels black
2. OEM side scoops
3. Chin Spoiler (need more $$ for that one)
4. Sequential Tail Lights
5. Tint all lights

I think I'm leaning toward either the wheels or the scoops. I think the wheels will make more of a change right now.

Any other suggestions????

Well I dont have enough for a blower and I really dont want to void any major part of my warranty. Other than a few HP here and there I dont really know what to do to make the car noticibly more powerful besides what Ive already done. I figured that some appearance mods would be better now.

What is "spray bomb"? Is that just a fancy way to say spray paint?

I guess it all depends on how much $$$ you want to spend.
If you have only a little money, tinting the tail lights, blinkers and 3rd brake light is a nice touch. I purchased the tail light tint and 3rd brake light from American Muscle.
If you have more money, adding a chin spoiler really makes the car look more agressive.
The decision is up to you.

Anything but the side-scoops. Hey, it's just my opinion.

But, of the things you listed, I'd hold out for the chin-spoiler. It'll be the most noticeable of all the styling mods you mentioned. And that's kind of the point when it comes to styling mods... to get noticed... ain't it?

*As for the tinted lights... go to autozone and buy a roll of film. It'll cost you about $12 to do all of them. Some people just LOVE to overspend for pre-cut stuff. My money is on you being able to handle a razor blade well.
