Make it look nice, not ricer, lol.

I'm not to sure yet, I'm really new to this. I am 17 but when i was younger I watched the fast and the furious one too many times and liked ricers, but now ive seen the light.

I'm not too sure yet =[

I was thinking as far as paint though, to get it repainted red and throw a carbon fiber hood on it.


that would look good and yes paint it red agian unless your going to paint everything else{jams,bay} :thumb:


Thats my plans, hopefully everything will work right.

- Tue Aug 11, 2009 2:47 am #137191 Welcome and good luck with the build.

if you want some cheap easy mods,
I'd start with some amber corner lights, and side marker lights.
and then maybe some fog lights.
from there you should be good till you get some wheels
Thats how id go about it.
you have a great, non-molested hatch to work with, just dont mess it up. :thumb:

Well replacing my mirrors will be first, because I am missing one mirror, and someone was recommending me to get gsr rims, but idk. Any recommendation on where to get the mirrors?
