I was wondering if anyone knows of some cheap or free mods to make the exterior of my car look a little better.

Heres some I have:1. Lower car 1.5 inches2. Clear turn driving lights.3. Paint front grill part under driving lights flat black.4. Sand paint with 2000 grit.5. Paint brake Calipers red.6. Remove pin striping and rubber fender line things.7. Paint over chips and stuff.

Is there anything else that I can do for free or cheap, I know there has to be something.thanks.

and a cheap interior mod you guys could get would be custom carbon fiber door panel inserts. about 50$ and i think they look great. (they replace the ugly carpet below the door handel)

"cheap mod" Find a bridge, and drive off it. Consider your car lowered 30 feet.
