What's Next?

OK, having a hard time deciding what mod is next. Help me out

I got 4 choices, what do you guys think?

1. Switchback bulbs for turn signals and disable DRL's (use switchbacks for DRL)


2. Spacers for the wheels
(likely 15mm front, 20mm in back)

3. Wheel Lug Cover
Without........................................... .....................................With





4. Black Out Headlight Housing
(make LE headlights look like S)
TO

5. Other
*Be sure to post what you think I should do next!

-I would like to finish my ascetic mods before beginning any real performance mods, but all bars are on my list. Likely first once I finish these.


Help me out here guys n gals!!

I'm all for the door inserts, but that is prob a $25ish mod, no biggie.

I'd LOVE to do the headlights, but scared as crap to take them apart!

In terms of headlight, I will just go straight to retro projectors for HID.

IMO, I will go spacers~!

If you do black out the headlight housing, a DIY would be great if you could do that
