Order parts from Excelerate and have them overnighted then install them in your driveway.

Ok, I'll play along. Paint your calipers and rotor hubs. Also you could remove the intake resonator.

If you like the door handle chrome inlay mod, that's fairly cheap n easy to do (really easy, haha). It's about $8 on e-bay.

And yes, xiomaro's right, "detailing" your ride is definitely inexpensive, and satisfying once you're finished!

De badge and give it a thick coat of wax will be a cheap way to get your car noticed...then a AEM CAI, short shifter, rear wing spoiler...come to mind...

It's like armourall, only waaaaaaaaaaaay better. When bought my car used, the dashboard was faded and the 303 protectact brought out the natural grey interior. It cost around 14.00 dollars and you can get it at marine shops or some walk in automative stores. http://www.303products.com/tech/inde...TOKEN=31365481

you could tint your outside lights. i bought vinyl overlays from bluebatmobile and installed myself. you could also buy the add-on trim for your interior(the pieces that go around the seat heater switches, cup holders, and on the very end of the center console in the back seat)
