cheap mods for my new car

[Mcool44]

was wonduring if there are any cheap mods i can start out doing to my car? So far i just order a lamo kit got my windows done and got a new stareo ststem out in it.

HIDs, foglights, interior LED lighting (+ license plate LED), debadging or painting the emblems black, or color-matching the front mustache all come to mind.

[Mcool44]

thx see im scared to get HID bc i was told they are really hot and mealt things, i wish my car came with foglights but idk how to install them, i want my interior led lighting to be like a dark blue but idk were to get a kit for it so if you do can i get a link or something? and parinting the emblem black sounds cool to me but can i do it my self?

[mattyfo0z]

No, the HIDs won't melt anything. Maybe if you had cheap eBay replica headlights, but not OEM headlights.

Here's some how-to threads for the mods you liked...

thx as you can tell im really new to cars and all of this so im not trying to mess anything up. this is my only car. i also have the led lighting eyes strip for my head lights but idk how to install them. has any 1 done that yet?

[DReed86]

I did HID's..... and so did most everyone on here, just make sure you get 35 watt instead of 55 watt... 55 is when you start getting into the metling

[Mcool44]

cool cool and will i still be able to get the blue i want? i also have a pair of angel eyes rings in my room and idk what to do with them at all lol

[DReed86]

yes go with 6000 is a light blue, 8000 is a richer blue (thats what i have) 10000k is really blue looks almost fake.

angle eyes are going to be tough to install... no lie talk to Dangeris

[Mcool44]

hmmm ok thx for the link. and who is Dangeris?

[Mcool44]

That bar sounds cool can i install that my self?

[Coupe12]

Dangeris will make you some pretty awesome headlights, im sure he'll find his way to this thread. And... i suppose its possible to install it yourself.... someone correct me if im wrong. But i think youll just need something to lift the car up

[Mcool44]

really o yea getting it on payday =) so when i drive it will feel tighter right?

[Coupe12]

right, they also have a front strut brace, found on the same website

[Mcool44]

does that do the same thing?

[InfinitiEric]

Cut your stock springs lol

[Mcool44]

why?

[InfinitiEric]

It makes your AC lower without having to buy aftermarket springs. Honda civic owners do it.. you should too

[Sam1ch]

Don't cut your springs. Your obviously not trying to mod your car to go faster, correct? Then stick with stuff like..

Eibach springs = $240 shipped from tirerack.com
HID = $40 from DDMtuning.com
Led lights = $? depends on how many you want
Rims+tires = $1000 and up
Tinted tails = $100

[InfinitiEric]

You could make the $100 tinted tails only $5 if you purchase VHT nightshades from autozone and spray them yourself. Really looks the same in the end and the paint comes off easily too.

[Mcool44]

o yea i dont want to lower my car at all my last car was a civic and i did that.it was not worth all the trouble

[Sam1ch]

What trouble? It's only a inch and a half drop in the front and an inch for the rear.

[Mcool44]

trust me i hit alot of curbs parking lol

[InfinitiEric]

Take your time and you'll be fine. Drop ittt

[Sam1ch]

No trust me you won't hit curbs. I went around and had my friend check if i was gonna hit curbs and there is still plenty of room for clearance.

[Mcool44]

lol im stilll under factory

[InfinitiEric]

factory smacktory. DO IT!

[Coupe12]

I cant lower mine either, dont worry
