Default Sickest mods ever!

This is what blows about having a "non popular" car, small aftermarket for them..Goddang civics and integras have 50x's the mods for them, cosmetic and performance...

Anyways...
So whats the best mods any of you have done? Im thinking about painting the lower plastic/moldings the same color as the rest of the vehicle. I have seen that on some pics of modded JDM rex's. They look cool. They have mods for the car in Japan, some shop needs to bring them here!

Default my own follow up

If I had tons of $$ and the wifey let me..I'd drop the car a few inches, get some 19 or 18 inchers, import a body kit from Japan and add some more interior accents. Like painting the plastic in the car the same white color as outside (professionally of course).

I think a carbon fiber hood would look nice too, especially with the white color of the car.

Same here... If I had the money and my wife's ok with my plan, I'd go for 21" wheels, lower it, bodykit, full stereo upgrade, paint lower panels same body color... Oh well...

How about graphics? I’ve been looking for some tasteful graphic to set mine apart. Has anyone seen any? Thinking about going to some biker shops for some ideas.

Hey Shonuff, when you were in the console, did you see the lights that lit the buttons on the stereo and console? The green ones? Is it a green bulbs that lights everything up? I want to swap mine out, so the buttons are not green, but red or blue...something like that. I dig the super white on the speedo and stuff. But the green lights on the center console look ugly.

think it is possible to change the bulbs for a different color, or is it the buttons that are green?

man that would be a lot of work. they are little led's that are soldered on to electronic boards. it could be done....kinda like those guys that mod there nokia phones with colored led's.

you would have to take your radio apart as well......it's kinda scary to do. if i can get a digital camera i will take pictures of it diseccted for you.

The brave, or crazy, soul that wants to partake in this journey can get small boxes full of LED's, many colors/sizes, at RadioShack.
