Wheels and Mtech body kit will give you a huge bang for the buck appearance wise.

A kit would be nice but I left my frame stock. I changed some minor things that make it look major IMHO. But hey, I am biased.
For you, shadowline trim wrap, new Wheels (preferably 19 but 20 is fine too), tints, spoiler kit (anything that is not ricey), painted grills, CF Emblems (or whatever kind you want), definitely HID Halo's or Umnitza's Halo's (LED), smoked side markers w/LED bulbs, LED Plate lights and interior LED kit if you want that. With all of that, I don't think you would spend over 1300 bucks depending on your tint and if you get authentic vs. replica parts but that is not including rims. on top of that, you can get everything from this forum alone.

Good luck and here are my pics.


EDIT*** I see you have tints... Too easy!
