Hey man welcome on board. I have read all things you guys were saying and decided to say that for mods go with: angel eyes, fog lights to much hids, tint the windows, change interior lights to led, led tail lights, #1 thing buy running boards wont regret it, plasti-dip the grills and rims might be a good combo. Keep in mind. All this things i listed you could get away with only $1000 or less isnt that crazy only the running boards are costy 300-500

Im not to sure. I was just going to try and do the cheapest things first. But I really want to either put the stock subs back in or upgrade one or the other. I really want an exhaust, the front and rear cameras and the rear heated seats. But since changing the lights is so inexpensive that may be my first upgrade.

Plasti-Dip, 2 cans, about $10-15 from home depot - you don't even have to take the wheels off the car (but have to be careful, or, just take them off, one at a time)... clean up the wheels, mask off the fenders, spray away... a couple of coats...

instantly, black rims... take a picture before and after... do one side first, say, left side... take a look... if you like it, do the other side... if not, just peel it off, and return the second can back...
