    I have recently been thinking of selling my gp and getting a newer car and I believe I have finally settled on keeping it for a bit.

    I was thinking of painting the inside of the front bumper and rear bumpers gloss black and getting some overlays put on. I was also thinking of getting some new headlights and corners (possibly hids) and some tint.

    Any suggestions about what you think should be done to the car visually or
    mechanically would be greatly appreciated. I think lowering is out of the question right now as my driveway scrapes the bumper some now (gravel with raise in middle) and the roads aren't the greatest here.

    Thanks.

    i feel you on not lowering it haha the mass roads suck too. If you want to do tint i would check ebay because i was looking into it and they have precut kits for like 20 bucks. I dont know anything about how great the stuff is but maybe someone here has purchased it...?

    I would recommend window tint on any vehicle. It will give your car a better overall look, protect the interior from the sun and keep it cooler inside. I would also recommend if your going to change your headlights to change your tail lights as well. It will make it stand out in the front and the back a lot more. Also maybe a different aftermarket radio if you haven't already.

    Just my .02 cents.

    Thanks for the reply. I was thinking of looking at some smoked led tails or clear tails and possibly tinting them a bit. I have a nice Kenwood deck in now as well as stinger wiring, Rockford Fosgate amp and 2 10 inch Sony explode subs in a box with custom flame vinyls. Will get a pic of it if you like.

    ^^Sure post a pic of it. I can post a pic of mine if you want to see it also. I have a Kenwood DDX514 in my car. I was looking at a Rockford amp for my car also. How do you like it? I also forgot to say you should tint the tail lights just a little bit (but please don't get too carried away with it) also if you buy some, so thanks for mentioning that.

    ^^ I like my car audio setup. Something is wrong with wiring now though. Keep blowing fuses. Last one lasted almost 2 days.

    ^ Thanks for the links. I like the smoked tails. I don't really like the corners on the projectors though. Was thinking of getting a set of these and putting some 6k hids in them to match my fogs.

    I bought some precut tint, and I went to install it, and it didn't fit right.

    Thanks for the input. The tint should have some to cut away. What brand of tint was it that you used?

    Waiting on shipping quote for headlights. Ones I posted above.
