The orange lights you want should not cost about $200.You can buy and install these yourself with probably about $100 depending on how many lights you want where.

I say also plan for intake and headers and you should be rockin

Don't waste your money on 16" wheels. Sooner or later you're going to regret not just dishing out for bigger sized wheels and tires. 18 - 20 is where I'd aim for size wise. Just try to craigslist your tires away!

Agree on the drop first!

Rob's right. Who the hell quoted you $200 for footwell LEDs? You could probably do it for around $50 if you went the cheapest route possible. As for the wiring, if you're clever enough to do the center console lights then you shouldn't have any problem with any other LEDs in the car. It's all just a matter of laying the wires...

Good luck!

Ya I spent just under $100 for 6 LED strips (two for footwell, two for front grill, and two for turn signals) along with some fuses, and some extra wire
