go with some extreme lowering springs, liek drop it down 3-4inches if possible, so its almost sitting on the ground, bigger rims, chrome for you..heres just a fe suggestions to maybe get the ideas flowing.

but some of that wont work...

so, going for the bling look. okay, not my style, but heres what'll work

first off, lowering, no lower than 2 inches. any lower than that, we're talking $1k coilovers, which youre probably not interested in. go that low on stock springs, and you can start spending a lot more time at an orthopedists. some people here have had good luck with Eibach Sportlines, i think. wrap them around some Koni adjustables, and own the local auto-x.

wheels, 16s work best. 17s, you start to get too close, and 18s rub. can i suggest some Rays? these are a good japanese wheel, and i'm a fan of the TE37. and you can stuff some AD22VF brakes in the front, and SE-R rears, which can only add to your rep.

bodykits, either look on ebay for the drift kit, or, since youre probably not one for subtlety, go check out www.extremedimensions.com. while i have no experience with their stuff, the products are probably what youre looking for.

as for a system, it really depends on how wild you plan to go. a DIN unit fits up front, and www.crutchfield.com can help you find what'll fit elsewhere. i know that i prototyped a custom speaker box that held 2 12" subs, a pair of amps, and some capacitors, (which are good stuff, but expensive) but i never actually made a mockup of it. i would suggest sealing the rear lights,as they tend to leak, and then dynamating the whole mess, to eliminate those unpleasant rattles that just happen for no reason. but you need to make sure the trunk is waterproof.

clean up the engine bay, and get a few components powdercoated or chromed, and if you want the race look, pick up a roll of ThermoTecs Exhuast Wrap, which will also do you some good.

the exhaust system leaves plenty of room for improvement, but if you are on a budget, Summit sells a Muffler and Hooker tip for 20 bucks each. cat-back exhaust can be had for less than 500, but i custom built one header-back that cost less than that. not for the faint-of-heart, though.

but, if you really want that big-mouth to mean something, you could always turbocharge the car and stuff that hole with an intercooler. that way you could not only out-floss anything in the area, but also make it to the other areas in impressive time.

and thats all i have time for, boys and girls...

16" rims or 17" if you like to bend rims.

(I like 16"x7" bronze with a polished lip)

Single DIN in-dash mp3 player with 4 volts or higher preamp outputs.

Component speaker set for the front (5" door with 1" tweeter)

Amplifier for the front components (100watt x 2)

Two 12" subs with a bigger amp

Aftermarket rear deck speakers (2 way or 3 way)

Aftermarket front bumper or just a front bumper lip.

check out my sig. for all of the mods that I already have. I am registered with Carsponsorships.com so I have the system issue solved....all I need is money. I found a place called versus motorsport(www.versusmotorsports.com). I more than likely will get a front a rear from there and get Stillen side skirts cause I like the simplicity of them. I have 15" black w/ chrome lip ICW Odessa rims and many more mods. I actually just bought an antenna off eBay that should be in the next few days...I'll have pics on my site uploaded when I get it installed. Thaks for all of the help!!!
