    Alright guys tax return is soon to come and im looking to spend some money on this car both visual and performance. Im not looking to spend a pretty penny since i have bills and stuff to catch up on too plus already have performance and maintainace planned out. All I need is a couple exterior looks ideas, want my car to stand out a lil better and look a bit more sexy. First off window tint will be done first, and I plan on painting brake calipers red. Now what to do with headlights, tailights, and wheels. I was thnking of plasti dipping all 3 but what you guys think specially my wheels? And i would like different headlight bulbs too just something with brighter output and where would i find those blueish bulbs for the foglight? Any other ideas to take care of the outside let me know just need a setup to hold me over til either the summer time or next year tax time.Thanks peeps.

    Id say go with the LED tail i think the read ones would look great to go along with the color blue of your car.

    Wait you want to plastidip your head lights and tail lights? I don't think that will work very well.

    Idk retro headlights seems like alot of work but we will see. And yes i was thinking of plasti dipping at least my tails, ive seen it and it dosent look half bad better then my VHT job on my old tails. I can always just peel it off if I dont like it anyway its just the bottom line I want a different look to my tails too. So its either new tails or plasti dip.

    If anything have a tint shop apply tint onto the tails doesn't cost much and looks 1000x better then Plasti Dip. Save the dip for the ricers your car deserves much better. 8)
