clear headlights, paint wheel calipers and drums, and get some touch up paint and fill in any chips u can find. A wax would make it look nicer too

Shaving your emblems does look nice. I waited a long time coz I thought it was complicated.

u can go ghetto style and cut ur stock springs, paint the hubcaps, paint calipers, shave emblems, clear lights, remove resonator, dent ur muffler and put a hole in it. and ur car will sound like its hooked up and look hooked up when its jus only been f***ed up!!!

I have cleared my headlights, painted my washer nozzles, and made the hyperblinkers, for free (I had the $.25 resistor). Makes a big difference. Then find someone on this site to sell you their euro tails. All in all I paid $120 for the exterior mods. Now I just need wheels!

I dont think painting your dash would be such a good idea.
Paint tends to chip after awhile after being exposed to heat from the sun and sleaning products.

I say clear you front lights. It makes a big difference.
