I see from your custom x page that you have modded your emblem from blue and white to black and white. How did you do it? Did you paint it, get a whole new emblem, or get a sticker that goes over the factory emblem? Thanks

As for new mods, I might tint the front windows to match the back and remove the roof rack unless you use them.

BTW- your car looks fresh.

The Front/rear/steering wheel emblems were a set of brand new emblems. i got them off ebay motors for only like 30 bucks and were really easy to change. As for the tinting i live in NY and its illegal to tint fronts and windshield.....the cops here are anal too.

Some ideas:

Exhaust or new exhaust tips to cover the currently naked tips.
Paint door handles and upper hatch handle white.
Sport package rear lights and +'03 white third brake light.
Wheels: Maybe you can get a set of used OEM 18's or 19's for $800.

1) Clear tail lights and headlights to match w/ your side marker
2) Upgrade your wheels to 18 or 19
3) exhaust tips
