What Else To Do

well guys, i finally got the drop taken care of and car looks GREAT. Im out of ideas on what to do to the exterior of the car to make it stand out more, a kit is not in my budget right now but it will in a month or two. Unless i can pull one off for about 500. Heres what i started with recently.

Around March/April



About 2 Weeks Ago [Before Drop]



Recent Dropped on H&R Sport



Now what else can i do to make the car look better. Thanks in advance and flamers, FLAME ON!

i'd take off the stickers, take off the front plate, clear your headlights, and drop it more.

Drop is good for me, not a fan of a car kissing ground, too much crap with the cops to take off plate, so looks good on side, stickers might just do it cus i have been feeling light it also, dont have balls to clear the lights, lol any other ideas? thanks for the pointers tho,

Somewhere on the forum somebody painted their grill white...others have done black all around. It looks good either way.

XS headers my not be legal but i think DC headers have the CARB.

add chrome door edge trim! thats what i got. but its love/hate. sometimes i like it, sometimes i really wanna rip it off. at least it goes with the chrome/white theme, if thats what you want.

instead of opening a new post i thought of bringing this one back, well all stickers are gone now and thas about it for the outside. I just finshed up part of my system. Now i have a eclipse avn5510 indash with polk components in all four doors. Im planning on getting subs so i need some advice. Im planning on doing a set up of 2 12 inch kicker L7 2ohms and a 2000watt performance technique amp mono block. Im getting this set up with a box for roughly 650-700. Is this a good amp to go with? Other amps out there that wont hurt my budget? I have a mtx 6304 for my components and want to change that out also, any reccomondations on which brand amps are good and have a nice price tag on em. Thanks in advance
