$1,000 to spend...you decide what I do next

[Boosted Orange]

Ok, here's the scoop. In a few weeks Im gonna have $1,000 to spend on the car and I am going to do exterior mods to her, to really dress her up. My goal in the end of the MSP project is for a clean, yet impressive and eye-catching look, with just as much balls to back it up. In terms of style, I am very JDM oriented, and greatly appreciate the hard work of a few specific members, Supman's being the most highly looked upon. Knowing this, here is what I propose. I throw out what I am looking to do and you let me know wacha think. Good, bad and everything in between...but with a catch.

1) You have to stay within my "realm" of the car industry (JDM-style)
2) You have to spend no more than $1,000 on exterior mods ONLY
3) I am not looking for rims, so please dont suggest that, since mine are gong for powdercoat in a few weeks (Gunmetal)

The suggestions that get the most support will be the ones concidered. In the end, who ever's idea is the best will be done on my car...



BTW here's a few recent shots of the car:

This is what I suggest:
- Carbon Fiber OEM hood
- Carbon Fiber Trunk
- Painted Black Roof

Game on... (drive)

mintblue front end (if you can find it in yourself to drop the lip), autoexe grill and eyelids, and drop if you got some exttra cash.

i would say a body kit, 1000 dollars isnt alot of money

 

[mspeed101]

I dont really like body kits so im gonna say CF OEM Hood, lowering springs, and either a dg or autoexe grille and if you have money left over HIDs

1) I ordered a set of sportline springs
2) I have a set of 8000K HID's ...like it says in the sig...lol

lol your right I forgot to check out your sig (hand) I havent had much sleep (coffee)

 

[SpicyMchaggis]

I'd say by your sig get some springs, a CF hood (why not), and get the DG CF grill..

Paint your headlights
autoexe grille painted orange
paint front lip
put a lower grill in front of the fmic
apr carbon canards
apr gt style carbon mirrors

well, your car is already eye-catching enough being that its ORANGE. but since you want to dress it up id say either:

package 1:

cf grill, cf hood with sides painted orange, black hood, cf trunk. or if the cf is too much with the rest, just get the fg grill, stock hood, roof and trunk all painted black.
i think it would make for an awesome 2-tone look.

package 2:

rims. nothing will set your car aprt from other car than some nice rims. you can get a pretty nice set for a little more money. i think polished black 5zigen fn01r-c's (with polished lip) would look awesome.

give me the money?? (evil)

jdm-style yo! i love it

supman's ride would be the path to achieve the jdm look.

the hood, trunk, and roof thing is a great idea. just slam the car and itll be set (4th pic, g/m msp on the bottom). i think no wing and no lip is just as nice

peace

I like both of Jose's option packages. Someone's played a lil too much NFSU

I think a two-tone look on an orange msp would look HOT. Rims would be good to have as well, but if you want a large exterior change, CF hood and 2-tone would be nice. You could also get some eyelids and have the body shop paint it orange along w/the autoexe grill.

Body kits look too ricey (for the most part), and if you ask me, we already start with some pretty hot curves.

you need a little more cash,but I say.....

CF hood(paint sides),CF trunk(no spoiler,or badges,well maybe a MSP badge),and a P5 valve cover -non-studded(paint it black,and file letters)


you don't have enough,but later I would add a DGM/autoexe grill in CF.

K-sport Coilovers, save the change for performance mods. the car looks great by itself

I totaly agree,I got well over $12,000 in mods,and the only cosmetic is the tein springs.
