Probably nothing major. IF anything, redouts, tint and maybe coils and sways. I kinda like having it stock. I'm getting old anyway LOL.

Yup - It looks great with simple mods like redouts, tint, and coilovers. I had mine basically like that until just last week when I got wheels.



Lowering the car just makes it look so much better... and the ride quality is still good.

Thats exactly what I had in mind! Very nice ride bro!

Did you have to use spacers? That looks hella good.

No spacers... never felt comfortable spacing the wheels out far enough to make them more flush.

You can see they were quite sunken in...




Which is why I had to get new wheels. Really didn't like the sunken in look of the OEM wheels.

Gotcha. I guess it was the angle on the photo. New rims are nice!

My forst "mod" is coming up btw, I just ordered the redout film. I was going to vht red them but figured the film is less permanent.
