    Hey, so I really want to modify my car and I don't know where to start. I was actually thinking of getting a new lip for my car and possibly a new rear bumper so I can have duel exhaust. any good site to go to that has cheap but good products?

    That'll give you a good start as to what you'd like to do.

    Best prices are going to be used. Check the For Sale-Parts section or post in the Want to Buy-Parts.


    Just remember, shipping is going to be freight on almost all exterior parts, and you will still have to paint them.

    You don't need a rear bumper, just the matte grey valance.

    ok, how do you take the valance off? are there pins that hold it in? since im getting a new resonator on my car I figured just y pipe it and make it duel exhaust.

    There is one behind each wheel and two more into the styrofoam. Then just work the bumper out of the clips starting from one side

    I started with some inlays and overlays from Reflective concepts. Also window tint is a must if you haven't done that already.

    I definitely second the tint^ Not only does it keep it cooler in the summer, but it really brings a car together. 20% on the rear and rear sides and 35% on the front sides is what I run. Just make sure to get it done professionally with metallic tint film, the color dyed fades to that nasty purple.

    Debadging the car and blacking out the front logo also helps the car look clean.

    You could also look into some different grills. PFYC has lots of grill styles and you could look into some tail lights. Dont buy aftermarket projector headlights. Biggest waste of money. I took mine out and sold them after 2 weeks.

    windows are already tinted. 50% on front two and 35% the rest. I had to get legal because my dads a cop and was there with me. lol and I wont lower it because Wisconsin roads are horrible and don't want to take the chance of scrapping the bottom of my car. I was told not to buy aftermarket projectors cause they are horrible. know any where I can buy a new hood? if I don't get rid of it I was to get a nice hood with scoops.

    Oh! and on another note! If you do sell your car, can you rob the little rubber thingy on you center dash piece. Its the one under the ignition. I would so buy that from you!
