i have no idea what brand the wheels are. i will have to check in the morning and they are 19 inch wheels. how much would it cost to vinyl wrap my entire car?

Honestly, it'll be way cheaper and better to always keep in mind that the car is low and drive accordingly, than making it higher. That would also negatively affect handling btw.

19 inch rims for under $100 - unless you find a good deal on used ones, I wouldn't want to drive on those rims. Quality and a price that low don't really come together.
i found out that this car has coilovers so theres no point getting new suspensions

Finally, you will not be able to get any decent looking 19in wheels for $100. Hope this helps in any way.
also i have coilovers for my car. and what is the difference between frozen white/matte white?

Step #1: Remove those ghetto and fake ass ebay grills!
Step #2: Buff the car and clean it up nicely!
Step #3: Raise the car and add a set of Oem wheels, you will be better off with 18's
Step #4: Congrats with your new 5 but you need to upload pics of it cleaned up!
