get some rims since you have the money. since it's an auto you should go for looks, that's if you want to put money into it. rims makes your car look totally different from stock. i think.

with 2k you could get a spoiler rims and a tint job if you do some shopping that will help set you apart from the others.
spoilers will go for as little as 100 bones if you don't mind painting?
if you or a freind dont know how to paint get it from the factory 500 is about right.
tint any where from 100 to 350 ask around find some one and check out there work.
rims .... wow they make a big diffrence so many chioces ... any where from 2500 to 500 with tires completely personal choice and quality.

All depends on whether you want show or go. I went for kit, rims, and other mods for looks. Now I'm getting alot of stuff from DH-racing to make it faster.

for 2k you could easily get rims, a drop and maybe some tint and other accessories to turn your car from stock to clean pretty quickly. is it 2dr or 4dr?

For 2k you you could get yourself a set of nice used rims and a kit and maybe a drop on springs. If you wanna go show get rims and drop first then you can work on a kit or wtv else. If you gonna buy a factory spoiler buy the ones off ebay there 129$ painted usually free shipping check it out.

Drop = $150 maybe $200 installed if you dont wanna DIY
Rims = $1100 (18z with tires)
Tint = $100
System = $400

$$$ left to pimp it out = $200

Those are the prices that we have in so cal so thats what I go off of.
