Attachment 10896 Any suggestions on what i can do to make my car look awesome! i need some help choosing some stuff to modify my car!

Dark window tint always makes a car look better

im for sure getting those. hopeing with some of the money i get from tax returns. but any other suggestions.

i already have a K&N drop in filter. i put that in right when i got the car.

why no cai and theres no need to drop $300 on a k&n cai or filter when you get the same thing for 30

Tint. Remove the chrome trimming and pillars makes the car look ghetto. A nice set of rims and lowering it.

ok. i started to remove the chrome. wouldnt stay on. i have yet to take the door trim off. know of a good set of tires for a good decent price?

Depends on what your requirements are?

REDCOMPG: low profile maybe. not to expensive though.

sheltonb13: i would like to get the HID's so thats a plus, how much do the mufflers cost. roughly?

I spent $75 on my flowmaster muffler at autozone. And as for the CAI these engines "hydro lock" quite easily and dont show any gains vs stock airbox with K&N drop in. What you have is as good as its gonna get.

My boyfriend wants me to get Tinted windows, projector/halo headlight, custom tailights, aftermarket exhaust, K&N air intake( why not cold air intake), after market wheels and tires, interior LED accent lighting wired to courtesy lights.

The halo lights for our cars are terrible the light output is worse then stock. Save money buy making your own intake you don't need that expensive k&n unless you find a good deal. Both will perform nearly the same.

yeah i mistaken, i do not have a K&N filter in my car, its STP. but either way it works and im happy.

yeah. thats awesome. ill take a look at autozone to see if they have it.

Hey, another question, how do you change the lights for the gear indicator in the center counsel?? mine are burnt out and i wanna get new lights in there!

A cold air intake doesn't make it that much easier to hydrolock unless your running through a hurricane. And mufflers aren't going to effect your gas mileage unless your old ones are clogged completely up.

Mine is an '05 base. Search for the thread Blacktooth Grin and check it out.

I have a 07 base and let me suggest a few things

Tint, remove the crap chrome, HIDS ( I like 3000k on the fogs but your choice) 4300k HIDS all the way around or 5000k, DIY Intake (This gave our engine more breathing room and a throaty aggressive sound). I believe ZZP has some good Exhuast and headers and stuff. I differently do HIDs first that's like a must IMO since the all cars with halogen have crap lighting. Don't get projectors cause they suck i stick with doing a retrofit cause you get the BEST out put from them.

If you mod you wont make much a difference in speed but if you do stuff like CAI, headers or exhaust or DP, a P-LOG from ZZP, then after all engine mods do a tune and you should get a lot more power than before. Also i think if you look on amazon you can find some great pure white LED lights for you Dome and interior lights in the back. Look on DDMTuning.com you'll find lots of LED's that you can put on your front turn signals which look pretty cool.
