Default My New Rides Modification Suggestions

I just recently purchased a 1997 sc300 174,000 miles. The car runs perfectly fine. I just recently changed my lower control arm and change my timing belt water pump and transmission mount, air filter, cabin air filter, fuel filter, transmission flush, mobil 1 oil changed.

I'm thinking of what modifications should i do first for this vehicle. Any suggestions? I really like the black CCFL halo highlights from ebay. I was planning to change the headlights first then the rims after. Any suggestions of what i should do first?

I would not go with the ebay headlights because they are cheaply made and non-adjustable. If you want black head lights, I would just paint them yourself. I think it would turn out a lot better.

sorry man... Just to let you know every time you say anything from ebay you will get some crap about it. LOL It's your car you enjoy it and mod it your way. I would suggest doing some suspension work and then wheels.

Nice, clean '97 SC! I'd stay with chrome/clear headlights, looks good on a white body; white and chrome always looks good together. I think you should either clean your current headlights outside and maybe inside, too, and/or you could go ahead and paint the inside black also, if you prefer. Instead of black eBay headlights I'd rather see the chrome ones on your car because it would match better.
