What mods to do?

Right now I have saved up about 2 thousand dollars and i want to do some mods to my car. My car is completely stock except for a clarion headunit. Since my car is automatic then I want to go more for looks than performance. So what mods do you think I should do?

I say the same, just make sure that you take your time finding the right wheels.

Regardless of what people say, you can get performance out of an autoatic. But, I would start with suspension, tires and wheels if you are not satifisfied with your regular set up, clear corners and taillights, Euro headlights.

I'm kinda leaning toward lights but I don't know which I should get....ZKW's or ones like 3twenty8i has.....I have looked at rims and kinda like the BBS RA or something..it's the ones that are kinda like m parallels. What are some rims not to expensive that you think would look good on my car(white)?

As much as I love the fact that my angel eyes are MAJOR headturners...they're reallly only for night action. Rims will get ya attention day or night. Good luck finding sick rims for under 2k though!

here is what I suggest, rims, cai, tint, ZKW's with dde (plus or enhanced up to you), and if you still have money pulleys, and of course euro tails, clear sides, and smoked corners

personally i would buy some koni or bilstein shocks and h&r springs... even if it is an automatic you can still rail on the corners. after that i would either buy a nice intake system or something along those lines... if you really want dde go for it... personally i think they are tight, but sitting on a pretty stock car might not look as hot.... wheels are always good, but suspension is better IMO
