If you are going for looks, a GP sports body kit is about the sexiest around...

Yes the GP kits are hot. It really doesnt matter what kit you get just as long as you like it and it isnt one of those cheap kits.

Keep the body stock, drop it 1.5", get some nice paint, wheels, tires. Call it a day.

i think a stock body with big rims and lowered looks sweeter than any body kit. when i say big rims i mean wide, possibly with fender flares. bomexs13 has a nice s13 with flares, and i know he posted a freinds car with some sick flares. try searching in this forum for widebody or flares. the timeless stlyle of nissans stock bodies just makes me feel fuzzy inside.

BTW - I think its awesome (and also a refreshing change) that you're a girl and you didnt make a girly screen name i.e. 'GRRLRACERHOTTIE69' Oh yeah and welcome to the board :)

Let the leg humping proceed! j/k

Well you could throw in some buckat seats, but I doubt you'll want that. Lets hear you Ideas on the interior.

Oh and remember wider tires =more expensive.

i would just reupholster the seats in a nice 2 tone leather scheme... maybe even upgrade to Skline or S14 seats.

Dont paint any of the interior. Get a shortshifter, nice comfortable knob, and you'll probably need a new shift boot if you have an S13. S15 steering wheel = teh sexy. You can get new carpet and if you are good at finding stuff, some new OEM floormats.

Or how about a MOMO or Sparco steering wheel if you really wanna spend the money, but yea the S15 steering wheel is great as well. Also if you want put in a new CD player. Pioneer has some good ones for decent $. Hmmmmm...what else? Oh! I cant believe no one has said rims yet. Check tirerack.com for great deals on rims. Some nice 16s or 17s will do fine. Also look into a nice carbon fiber front lip if you dont want a body kit.

PS: Im not really a big fan of neon lighting, but I know a lot of girls that are. If you want them, my advice to you is: Dont do them unless your car is in good condition and looking good(Good factory paint, rims and maybe lowered). I also suggest putting them on the inside, but make sure that they are very well hidden and dont overdo it.

Thats it for now.

sounds good...i probably wont do too much with the neon..maybe a few inside the car but probably not underneath...where could i get a good carbon fiber lip? ill check that out and see if a body kit would look better or if i shouldnt bother...but like i said, something along the lines of a quiter not so aggressive look, not so overdone...it will make it look like im trying too hard to impress cause im a girl..;) nice sound system sounds good and ill check the rims out and see if i could get some good deals...thanks for all the suggestions! how about some ideas for under the hood...? dont want to over do that too...:)

If you decide on a 91-94 you need a front lip, such as an 89-90.

Damn it you beat me to it! I was going to say if you wanted to go for quiter exterior styling do the 180sx or silvia front end conversion. It isnt too expensive and very sexy.

Exhaust-Id suggest checking out this thread http://www.nissaninfiniticlub....wpostIntake- I would go with Injen or AEMHeaders-Hot Shot

Any thing else?

under the hood depends on the available funds.

If you are on a budget, I/H/E and a 50 shot should do you.

If you have money to blow, and SR or CA swap in stock form in a good match for most cars on the street.

**changes subject** window tint is pretty cheap and usually looks good if done professionally (IMO)
