What mods should be next?

I just removed the mudguards, what other cheap mods should I do to the vehicle? Any chrome I should add? Any advice would be appreciated...

Hey usaf...maybe change the rear-side blinker (red) to the same color as the front (smoke grey)...i don't know, it's really up to you, ur car represents you. But if you don't mind spending more...a-spec kit and lowering, for sure!

But they're still 17"s

No chrome please.

Are you modding for performance or appearance?

-You can shave the keyhole on your driver door. That's a fun mod too.
-How about some LEDs? Those light your car real nice.
-are you tinted? It's nice to get that sun outta your face. Tint those windows.
-If you're handy, and you like a nice elegant look, clear your headlghts.
-Like tinkering with computers? hack your navi screen(I think welcome mode only)
-If you like coordinating... get the type-S side markers. Anyone with a TL(any enthusiast) atleast would know you're no type-S with red rear side markers!!!!
-250 for a Type-S spoiler, while you're at it, sell yours for some $$.
-A good alternative would have been to color match your mudguards instead of removin completely. Heres mine.


-Switch all your LEDs inside the car to one uniform color. That looks classy.
-Paint your grille / get the Chrome V trim. Speaking of chrome, put a chrome strip on your bottom air vents(in front on the bumpers)
-how about an audio system? Don't wanna spend a lot? Try a drop-in. I am not sure if they produced them yet, but someone wanted to make a drop in sub that blasts a little more than our stock ones.

Be creative, anything is a mod if you change from OEM.

Like I said to each his own, 18's give you a shitty ride IMO and I like chrome, it is my car....I was asking for improvements not removing things I just put on because someone else thinks it should look a certain way.

Haha i love how Be-In My TL suggests things =)

I'm pretty much a stockie rite now.. i've only done LED swaps on interrior and exterior,

just took the front plate off and put a decal there and hardwired my v1..

Next things on my wish list is

-Clear out headlight, put switchbacks and angel eyes (Anyone from Austin that can do this?)

- New shoes and a drop

Those two alone will have sucha noticable effect but they're either pretty tough (to a guy like me) and new shoes involves some good $$ haha

hmm hmm hmm dang ~_~

Just my opinion man! 18s are actually OK. 19+ is where you lose ride quality (in my experience).

Anyway, performance or appearance? Either way you go will be expensive so you should decide now which path you wanna take. Again, just my
