And you're happy with the performance as it is. You just want to bling up your ride a bit. What do you?

Assuming you already have the tint and the spoiler!

If you can come up with another 130 you can get the OEM kit and install it yourself.

To bling it up?
Get some chrome fenderwell trim pieces. Get some chrome door-edge guards. Then get your emblems gold plated...You'll have like $100 left over for some CD's to fry your stock sub...

That's not bling-bling.. that's ghetto :toothless . Bling-bling is some nice 18" or 19" chrome wheels on nice low profile tires, stainless steel shining exhausts.... riding low... and some ICE on the inside. That will get you started to blinging. Keep in mind that blinging is expensive.... so if you can't do it right.. don't do it at all b/c the results will be awful if you half-ass it.

I still stand by my original post and say get the OEM kit. If you're uping your budget maybe you can go with some low to mid range 17" or 18" rims/tires and the kit. That will add a total new look to your car....

I agree, blang-blang is all about the wheels. Nothing else comes close to changing the entire look of the car except maybe the body kit...but wheels are still the way to go for bling!
