You know I had to get you! 1st off for anyone to help you gotta post pics.. When you say unuique do you mean apperance wise or performance? If the car's stock i would start with a set of gears, short throw shifter and some exhaust.. GL my man!

Best way to get attention is an exhaust. Next would be appearance such as, rims, tint, a nice wax (trust me that'll go a long ways). I would also get gears, but that's because only cool people get gears .

But I have to be honest, you have a pretty plain joe car color, and to most people it'll just look like a "car". But you can for sure spice things up a bit! Good luck!

That's true I love the throaty sound. I already have a flowmaster 40 series muffler. I heard dual exhaust on a v6 can be difficult, but also I also wish I had a tailpipe that was straight. And yes, my swampgreen is a horrific color.

I'd give your car a good waxing and put some tire shiner on your tires, trust me that made a huge difference in appearance. Something about a dark black (wet looking) tire just stands out to me.

when I purchased my car 2 months ago it was waxed and tire shined, looked sexy. My uncle gave me those GT wheels because I had 3 spoke wheels that I didnt really like.

Auto. 1st thing I would do is some gears.. 410's will really spice up your life.. What's all done to the car??
