So true. So true. Quit trying to find out what everyone will like and do what YOU like. Fitting in is for guys in Gap clothing. Dont be a Gap guy.

i'd say a wash, wax, and a few beers and think

and no 14ft spoilers... cause only once you hit 32ft do you get enough downforce [8D]

Chances are, you'll want aftermarket wheels next; they really change up the entire look of the car. For the record, 17's are probably the biggest you'll want to go in a daily driver (you can fit bigger, but it'll be pretty uncomfortable and you'll have rubbing issues).

After wheels, you'll probably want at least a slight drop. You don't need to lower a car after you put wheels on it, but the wheel gap canbe pretty bad.

After that, I'd say you have to make a decision. And please take your time making this decision. You'll have to choose between a stock body, lip kit, and body kit. I say take your time because I know, from experience, that tastes change. You want to make sure you're going to want to keep your car like it is for a few years before spending hundreds of dollars on it. (trust me, I used to have a body kit and now regret blowing $500 on it)

After all that, it's pretty much up to you to decide if you want to keep giong with the exterior or start working elsewhere on the car.
