what's wrong with the link in his sig? I'm sure there's a good reason, I'm just not aware..
jp, i love it lol

anyway, I'm all for body kits, as long as you keep them subtle (as far as body kits can go) and clean. you need to find something that you can make look really smooth that almost looks like it belongs on the car.

i think i gota agree with the buddy club 2 style body kit




again, just my .02

I'm pretty new here, but I'm going to agree with the first response. Not even slamming it, but bringing that wheel gap down a few inches would help GREATLY. Do a rim color change, IMO. A nice gold or gunmetal would look awesome. Stick with a lip kit, as those usually accent the body lines really well. As for exhuasts, I'm sure there are many routes to take. I pieced mine together ($120 eBay piping + universal muffler + local shop work/welding) and I had it done under $300 and quality is more than enough than I'll ever need. Stick with basic stuff, but not autozone stuff.

I'm not talking ****. I'm trying to get a point across that you can't cheap out and make something look good.

Yes. I did. Why? to get the point across that cheap stuff doesn't cut it. To make a car look good, you need to spend money. Just like hardware store spray paint and clear coat won't work either. A proper paint gun, proper automotive paint, and proper clear coat will make the job look 100x better than a spray can could ever do.

This.

Remember, in case any future "bashers" chime in, that eBay is NOT a brand, but a marketplace. I've bought several pieces from some automotive sellers on there with zero problems. A buddy of mine bought a full turboback off of eBay and it was GREAT quality SS, and he just splurged on a nice, name brand muffler and got it all mated up. One of the better exhausts out there, IMO. Keep the car clean. Get an exhaust that'll give you a little bit of a tone, but not a weedwhacker sound, and hopefully some performance. That makes it double as a performance mod as well as "cosmetic."

I guess you people don't share my sense of humor then. If it helps I will lighten up.
