many questions
Ok, i have alot of questions, so i decided to put them all in one thread, if this isnt what i should have done, sorry ahead of time.
1. ok, did i miss any free or cheap mods? i have paint b pillars, paint engine cover, mesh grille, debadge, and cutting the lock tabs.
2. if i lower my car, if i later get larger rims, will i need to buy different springs? or are they interchangeable?
3. i want a lip kit, but i cant bring myself to drop 1000 or even close to that on one. would it look bad with just the front or even just front and back?

2. You don't need new springs for new rims. If that's what you're asking.
3. Yea lip kits look weird with only some pieces. The only combo I think looks OK is if you had the REAR ONLY. Any other single/combo pieces look weird. IMO

Another free mod can be shortening the shifter. That thing sits so high. What I did was applied the parking brake, shifted it into D4, take the shift knob off (it screws out, might take some elbow grease), put a towel around the shifter and take a hacksaw to it. I took off about 1/4 inch, you could go lower but gate shifting down to D2 and D1 may be difficult seeing that the shift knob would be rubbing on the gate plate.

if im not mistaken its most effective (freezing method) only right after the dent was made.
and it has to be thin enough sheet metal.
can also be done with a hair dryer and a can of air duster.
