    find the biggest spoiler you can. the higher it is the better

    find altezza taillights, they are awesome

    remember, the more stickers on your car the better. its even better when you dont have anything from that brand on your car

    racing stripes are sick too

    and some full faced rims

    you can be the best car in your entire neighborhood

    young grasshopper...

    FREE MODS:
    Check the toutoral sections

    Whats cheep to you? 20-40 or 100-200 bucks?

    honestly 1st thing you should do is drop it. After that the car looks so much better. Add a factory wing if you like. try to get a hold of a EGR sun visor and you got a nice exterior. Please dont neon it out like a ricer though, some interior lights is fine but dont get carried away.

    the one that is cracked is repairable, but my parents are too worried about it recracking and then something else could go wrong

    plus looking to downgrade to a 17" so i could drop my car down a little if i decided to

    my car came with a OK system when i bought it, pioneer all around.. no subs tho

    why bigger the better on the spoiler? i was thinking of a some what big but still smallish one

    i was thinking of a crome taillight, are those easy to install?

    what kind of stickers would i put on? i know brands but what kinds? wouldnt that take away from the clean look of it too?

    You should buy a replacement rim then. And you can drop it plenty on 18s. Even guys on 19s have their Gs dropped.

    But yeah, definately don't do neon. I don't think any neon color will match the beige. An intake setup can be cheap, exhaust is a little more pricey, but both are good starting points. But as everyone else said, look around the site. There are tons of people doing all kinds of different things to their rides, so the more you see the better the ideas you can have as to what you want to do to your ride.

    i installed my intake, headers, and cat back man. if you can use a ratchet, you can work on your car.

    That's all sarcasm. Don't do any of that. Seriously. Go with the stock Galant spoiler if you want one. Nothing bigger than that unless you are doing a full body kit. Chrome altezza taillights are cheap and easy to install, but...they are cheap and easy to install. So everyone has them. You could try going with the JDM style taillights like a lot of guys around here. But that takes a bit of modification. It's easy enough tho.
