Re: Hello Everyone (The Rookie)
Welcome
There is alot that you can do for $600. Are you looking for body mods, performance mods, Interior work? Spend some time looking around the forums and become familiar with the SEARCH button at the top of the page. You can look around and see some cool things others have done to their verts that can help give you ideas of what to do to yours.

Re: Hello Everyone (The Rookie)
As far as the body goes, I think the vert looks sexy stock. I still went with a body kit. I paid around $500 for it because it is a cheap knockoff.Here is an old pic when I first got it.
Edit:I just realized your in Phoenix, I live in Glendale. Maybe I'll see you driving around

Re: Hello Everyone (The Rookie)
My advice to you:
1) Buy used. As you mentioned, check the classifieds, also try out zilvia.net
2) Try Craigslist.org as well - and ebay, but you probably already know that.
3) 600 bucks will buy you a good set of used wheels. Might I recommend a little drifter style? Maybe a different set for the fronts than the rear? http://www.jdmenginedepot.com is the best place for imported stuff in NJ. You might want to try cali based places for better shipping prices...
4) IMHO: For 600 bucks, I would do the following:
a) Invest 100 on something. Anything. Try an orange savings account.
b) Take 200 and chance it at gamb|ing (hey, I live close to Atlantic City...give me a break).
c) Spend the rest on something nice for your girl. Then get the chick to pay you back physically (what...like you didn't expect that coming) and monetarily with gifts thru the year. Hehe...

^^ Nice use of your funds.
Welcome Rookie!!!
Great to have you on board. You are going to LOVE your new car. Lot's of ways to improve the looks if that's what you want. My suggestion echos the ones above... You have two choices.. Body kit or Wheels. Both will make a marked improvement.
personally... I vote wheels first.
