Default Few options i am considering for exterior

my birthday is coming up and someone was going to send me roses and i told them why send them to me across country when you could get me something that lasts for along time and they said YOUR RIGHT lol "i love flowers but not when i am on the road for work and wasted in the hotel room lol" so i have a few choices, can spend probably around 150.00 as they'll want me to get something nice.



I was thinking of the chrome grill replacement "billets i think???" or getting the smoked front and rear lights????



any other suggestions?



Also i will be looking into new tire/wheels soon and trying to keep an eye out for a wheel/tire combo deal or take off deals. but if i replace my rims i want something around 17" "not into all that huge wheel game" i want functional for my needs so 17" should work with decent tires i would think.



My car is vapor silver so i believe the grill would look very very nice on it. but curious as to what others think.



i also like the look of the smoked lights BUT i travel so much and there are so many haters in the world that i worry they will get ripped off!

The signals and grille are both good ideas. You're right that the billet looks great on silver, but i think black looks okay for now and the clashing orange of the signals is more of an issue so I vote for the smoked or clear signals.

not a big fan of the white signals but only issue I have with the smoked lights is I have nothing else done exterior wise and may not blend well

The smoked lights will blend better than that orange does. Another thing could think about is the wheelskin louvers I know a bunch of people on here have them. I personally have the SHR louvers but they not in that price range unless could get them to buy them unpainted and have them painted yourself. But don't be afraid about the smoked lenses blending.

get all the lights painted instead of the vinyl overlays. they last longer painted and wont crack in the heat like vinyl.

50resto.com has great deals on wheel and tire combos.
