I am _SO_ uncool.....
Man oh man, I don't know where to start. I drive a CL type S, so to try to fit in with some of the boyz who mod their rides, and not wanting to stand out too much, I added some extras- to sort of blend in:
Window tint
Found a guy who only charged me $800.00 (US) to tint the 3 back windows. I really had no idea it is that hard to put bubbles in tint, since I see it all over town that way. Took two days.
Stereo
Sub-woofer install
Took 4 hours of calling to find a shop who was willing to talk to me, without hanging up in my ear. 16" sub and amp with special enclosure, GUARANTEED to buzz at any volume setting, $750.00(US). Took three days.
Lighted windshield squirters
Did these myself! Don't know what the big deal is though. Had to us some JB Weld to hold them on the underside of my hood.
Airbags on the corners
I think it is so cool how those guys can move their cars up and down, I wanted it! Found a guy who would do the job for cash only, and needed the car for THREE WEEKS! Only charged me 7500.00(US) for the job. The only problem I have is that I have to pay him 3000.00(US) each time they deploy for replacements. That is only for one bounce. Besides which, it scares everybody in the parking lot.
Wheels and tires
This is the last thing I want to do, in hope of some acceptance. I am looking at 20" rims with those 'caps that spin by themselves,
OR
13" rims and white walls. These don't seem to be too hard to find, but does anyone know where to find 150mm offsets for our car?
Thanks in advance

1.
i would recomend the wire wheels in the 13s maybe some nice off brand ones with dayton knock offs, but you got to get the vouges with the gold walls instead off the white walls.
2. then of course you need to hook up some flowmasters with whistle tips :bubrubb:
3. and the job wouldnt be complete without cutting your springs to lower your car
PS i hope your tint is purple cause thats the only way to go
