i wanna put the clear side lights on my car.
they look sick, i saw someone with my same car, with the yellow ones.
but the clear looks sick. and i wanna do the gauge cluster another color.
so much to do, so little time, so little money.

Nice clean stock car. If you want to drastically change the look and feel of your ride then I suggest a drop first and foremost. Second to that, give her some new shoes. You won't believe the difference in style and functionality you get by doing that.
Secondly for a more sporty or "racer" look, I'd recommend a lip kit and not a full body kit.
For your headlights, crack them open and remove the amber lenses. Also replace your bulbs for some blue/amber bulbs (sorry I don't remember the exact name of them right now). They'll give a bluish color in the headlight by day but you'll keep a stock amber glow at night. If you hate amber with a passion then just leave your bulb alone or get a "hyper white" bulb. It looks a little ricey but hey to each their own. I personally like the bluish bulbs myself.
Oh and yes restore the stock lenses with some polish but don't go throwing in HID's in there. Just get a nice set of silverstars. If you go with hids then think about doing a retro with some projectors.
