Hello Everyone,
I'm new to TGC and was looking for ideas on what to do to my exterior beyond what I have done so far. Any ideas would be appreciated, there are so many options around just wondering what I should consider first, besides lowering my car which i intend to do soon. If anyone knows any good kits for lowering that would be appreciated as well but I will continue to look through the forums. Thanks for any help and hello to all.

Well everything depends on how much you want to spend......coil-overs are 7/800 + while shocks and springs are about 4/600, and just springs are about 200......

also there's the VR4, VRM, VRG convos or you can keep the 02/3 front end........loads of potential my friend

everything depends on your opinion/tastes

Like mentioned before a drop would be thebest option. Your car looks real clean so a drop will set it off or you can get some 2nd or 3rd gen tail lights. What are you looking to spend?

Thanks for all the feedback everyone. Not sure yet how much I can spend with the semester starting soon, but appreciate all the advice want to spend around less than 600-700 for a drop so I will look around.

Rims are nice, car is clean, definitely drop it.
