get what you like.. but i think .. the very most important thing to do is.. get the car lowered.. it will look so so much better

^^good advice. i never followed the "lower it" comments..but its on the list for this summer. once its lowered look for some clean rims and for tint id go as dark as humanly possible. it sucks when people are just staring at you...makes me wanna run the red just to get away.

+1 on lowering. A slightly dropped stock bodied SC always looks good. Check out tirerack.com for some wheels to start

Coils, 19" wheels and a nice dark tint = win.

this is kinda off topic, but it seems like if most SC owners had to choose, lowering their car would be the first modification done.

Welcome!!! First off, where are the pics!?

But like some have said already, I'd drop it first, then wheels, then tint. A drop and wheels makes the car look soooo much cleaner.

Lower , I think 18''s are good for the stock body, tires are cheaper as well. If you go more aggressive then 19'' or 20''s

I've got a clean stock silver 2000 SC and it looks great the way it was meant to be, classy.

+1 ncritch. Why take a limited production classy luxury car like this & destroy the ride & wheel alignment before you've even gotten aquainted with it??
