What Should I Buy Next?

[DaViper]

Well, I finally bought an autoexe grille and got it painted and put on my car....so now I can't think of anything else to do to my car (remember, I can't modify under the hood or do anything permanent). Anybody got some new ideas for me to do apearancewise? I'm getting around $300 for my radar.
Here's what I've done so far (I might forget something):
Autoexe Replica Grille
10" Kicker Solobaric l5 subwoofer and Kicker kx400.1 amp
Justin B Billet antenna
Dave B rings
DGM CF interior kit
Professional install handsfree kit
Ipod and mount
6 disc cd player upgrade
Interior neons and controller
BlueBatmobile clear foglight protectors

I was thinking some Mazdaspeed or momo floormats (since my stock ones got really permanently dirty from this summer in Maine), and maybe one of those expensive momo ebrake handles with boot. Any ideas? As I said before, I cannot do anything under the hood, I know it sucks....

All suggestions will be appreciated!

Thanks!

I would tint the windows. That is permament I guess but it makes the car look better. And it reduces the glare on the inside. Why can't you do anything permament?

I'm guessing it's either a lease, or for insurance/warranty reasons.

I agree, it would look much better with tinted windows.

hell yeah tint is a MUST

Because it's not techincally my car....my parents paid for it..I'm not complaining at all, I just have to go by that rule. They also don't want me to tint the windows, but it might be done eventually.

Thanks!

Hmm. Maybe paint some panels on the inside (do you have the complete dash kit? If so then nevermind.) Maybe some pedals? Floor mats would be cool too. Paint components under the hood (like the fuse box cover, the rod that holds the hood open, and the lettering on the valve cover - I did this and it looks sick). By the way, how is that neon controller you have that pulses the neons to music? Does it work well and actually synchronize the neons to the music well?

Personally, I like the tent for the functionality more than the looks. Mind you, you can
barely see in my back windows, even on a sunny day, but that dark tint keeps my car
a good 20 cooler in the summer.

If you want to attempt to rationalize it to your parents try this... (probably won't work)
Lower internal temp = less A/C = less gas = saves money.
It's a functional modification, that just so happens to look cool.


becides, tint CAN be removed, so it's not a perm. mod.

definately a tint. and maybe an autoexe lip?

The neon controller works great, however I don't like the pulsing to the music option, since it's just kinda annoying while driving (but it works great). I'm going to be buying a second one to put in my trunk to pulse to the beat of the sub for the neons that will go in the fiberglass amp rack I'll be making.

Yeah, I imagine it would be annoying when you are trying to drive. I looked at my sig and got more ideas. Maybe a vinyl windshield visor? Or maybe a side vinyl graphic (subtle, maybe a pinstripe or something). And paint your calipers too. I am sure your parents will let you do that.

I'm really not a fan of vinyl at all, just personal taste (although there are some nice viny's I've liked before). Right now I'm thinking about changing my subwoofer. It's startng to annoy me, since it has a funny sound to it. The only problem is my custom box is square since the sub is square, so I only have on or two other subs by kicker to look at, and they would need a bigger amp.

I would go for some 12" kenwoods. There was a package deal at Best Buy a few weeks ago for 2 12" Kenwood subs, a Kenwood amp, and a box for $320-$330 (I can't remember exactly). They sound nice too. In my opinion they were the best sounding subs in the store.
