Not to be rude, so please don't take it that way. We really cant help YOU with YOUR car based on looks WE like

There are body kits, the JDM look, keep it stock, 17's to 20's for rims, its all up to you.

take your interior inner pieces out and paint them all, then fiberglass your trunk... you can suicide your trunk by using piano hinges...

Welcome to TGC!

What is your end goal with the car? Or what is the main intended purpose?

Don't look at this one

Look at my Garage

:p

jk but look at the Garages see what you like

Look at a variety of cars

My Garage is an example of a car modified on a high school budget
Whereas Reelax, Cali, other awesome cars....have quite a bit more into them

forget modding until you have cashflow. this game is an expensive hobby.

If you have no income currently, I would get ideas and not jump on any yet. check the thread "post a pic of your car" and you will see a ton of ideas, it can get expensive to keep changing your mind, so just sit back and think until you have a steady income

Cheap simple mods, tinting tail lights, painting emblems, changing speedometer look, painting interior trim, new fog lights, removing and painting valve cover and exhaust heat shield, theres TONs of cheap simple mods, then theres really expensive ones like body kits or JDM parts, rims and suspension, but biggest thing out of all is keeping it unique to you

Cheap simple mods,

tinting tail lights,

Turns out badly most of the time


painting emblems,

Lame, all the time


changing speedometer look,

Meh, I wouldn't do it and imo doesn't really matter


painting interior trim,

gross.


new fog lights,

meh.


removing and painting valve cover and exhaust heat shield,

yes at VC, no at heat shield


theres TONs of cheap simple mods,

Ok let's break down your "cheap mods":

Tinting tail lights = $10+ VHT night shades
painting emblems = $7 paint adhesion, $7 paint
changing speedometer look = $5 nail polish remover, $9 L.E.D lights
painting interior trim = $5 sand paper(s), $7 paint adhesion (see above), $7 paint
removing and painting valve cover and exhaust heat shield = $16 high heat primer, paint, & clear coat

----------------------------
Equals to $66 minimum. No cashflow means that's worth a lot of ramen noodles and macaroni cheese...

you can still do some small modding with no cash flow XD i still managed to do a dohc with 0 income its just a matter of finding deals id say keep it simple dont do anything big till u can afford what can go wrong with it. so like v6 throttle body and outlander mani and if u get a steal a head swap maybe just a cai and btw if ur broke ebay is ur best freind go check there!
