Rep Power: 272 Rick.. are you running without a front license plate now? lol, but I do think it will look nicer once you get a black grille or black out the one you've got right now 
Keep it clean man, that's the best way..

Rep Power: 272 ^^ Sounds good so far! I'd leave the front hood alone for now.. CF if anything other than the stock silver (but that's just my opinion)
.. and my bad, I didn't notice the plate in the windshield LOL

The more time you spend workin on it, the less money you'll spend having someone else mod your ride. Things you can co yourslef (or with a friend):
- paint drums/calipers
- paint engine bay components
- paint interior trim components
- install front and rear upper strut bars
- rear sway bar upgrade
- short shifter install
- shift ****
- shift boot
- ebrake cover and boot (takes a little tugging)
- upgrade speakers
- upgrade deck
- install sub & amp
- change bulbs/install HID H4
- so much more
By no means am I telling you to do any or all of this stuff, I'm just saying that if you wanted to get any of the above done to your ride, it's pretty easy for even a novice to do and you'd save a ton of loot by not paying someone else to do it.
