stuck on something...

Ok guys, a little stuck on some choices here... Its winter, so not much modding to do, being in New England and all. BUT, i definitely need to do something to my car. Im starting to get lost on where to go next. I don't care for tints and I don't really need springs or anything like that right now(Just not a big issue to me). Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do next? Im literally stuck, lol. Thanks

P.S. Im even ok with just doing cosmetic mods as well for now if anyone has awesome ideas

If you wanna do cosmetics you can do:

-DIY Black housing headlight
-Purchase S/XRS headlights
-Get Fog Lights
-Change up your light setup
-New wheels
-Window Visors

Performance Wise you can go with:

-Custom Exhaust
-Borla 11795
-CAI/SRI
-Weapon-R Headers
-Pulley

You can also do:

-Upgrade sound system
-New H/U
-WT Floor Liners

Just throwing stuff out there, theres always plenty to do

while you're at it, throw some projectors in there.

but i have never melted a set of headlights with my $10 harbor freight heat gun. if I were to melt them it would be my own damn fault for not moving my hand.

Get some fog lights

It would complete your S conversion next to the headlights

if the aftermarket fogs are oem replacement or if you can get another set that will fit cleanly then it should be ok.

think im going to make this my next priority...

Fogs
Headlights(Black Housing)
Strut Bar
Wheels

I think thats it for now. Anyone against DIY painted rims? Im pretty good at doing that type of thing, just wondering if its worth it and if the stock S rims look good in black

Fixed it for you.

And what do you mean you don't like tinted windows? They look better IMO & help protect your interior, fact. I would also suggest TRD springs even though you said you don't care. The TRD trio of springs, USB, & RSB transform the handling so much that you will be surprised after you're done. Than of course, larger wheels!

I never said I didnt like tint, I just dont care for them. That would be a last step type thing. I understand that lowering a car and such make it maneuver better, but thats not something I want to focus on right now.
