what to do for <$200 Options

[rocky2006]

i want something done to my exterior that will be noticable and look good, but im trying not to spend over $200 because thats all the Christmas money i have left. any ideas? im looking to get some side skirts and paint them, but no front or back lips. do you think that will look dumb?

[orvillescelica]

i dont know that youll be able to get side skirts and paint them for under $200. The skirts themselves (depending on which ones you get) will be at least $200 with shipping.

i dont know what you can do for under $200... S2000 antenna? tinted windows? clear lenses? paint your rims?

[playr158]

clear turn signals from procarparts.com
tint(is like 100)
if your good you can find a set of coilovers/springs for under 200$

For $200 you could do a sweet alarm install on your car if you don't already have one.

[rocky2006]

i already have a viper alarm, but its not sweet. its the basic one but with flashing lights, starter disable, and keyless entry. i cant do any fabrication myself, so how much would that scoop cost to get done for me? right now im leaning towards a tint (15 on back 3 windows and 35 on front side windows) and clear turn signals and side markers. for front grill, do you mean just putting some of that steel mesh on my bumper? instead of s2000 antenna, im just installing a manual switch for my antenna. any other ideas?

[prpnum1]

for the vent i cut the shape and then fiberglassed the piece that was cut out (now the bottom piece) and the meshed it very easy and only expense was some fiberglass/bondo

If your not good at doing anything your self. Its going to be hard to do much with only $200. I would start the same route as I did. I painted my wheels, and then got some fog's, made a bake panle (that requires skills) removed pin-stripe. I would say paint your rims. Thats always nice easy cheap, and makes a big dif. Also Tint.

Also a real cool interior swap, trade me your leather seats for cloth, cloth are so much nicer..

Cloth actually do hold you in better...and I think they're more comfortable with the bigger side and bottom bolsters and such. I only wish I had leather in my car now because more people desire leather and my car is for sale.

I didn't know that there were people doing these themselves? I've always wanted a bumper scoop but thought it was easiest to look towards aftermarket bumpers like the zyclone (and then have to remove my reinforcement bar)... I'd be really grateful if someone posted up a complete how-to on this!

[rocky2006]

i added a 4th pic to my profile so you can see my weird rims that came with the car. i dont know what they are, and i dont know if it would be a good idea to paint these rims.

[playr158]

OH god that looks like crap check my profile on my car much nicer

no offence that just isn't done, and its un porportional to the rest of the car

OR cough you should have just looked at my sig for the easiest way vvvvv

Are u talking about prpnums?? I think his looks better then yours, or maybe its just that , um that front end i very much dont like on yours. But your getting a new one so its all good.

[prpnum1]

haha thanksi agree with you :-D

[playr158]

well the scoop on pr's is wayyy too small to be proportional to the rest of his car it wat like 3" or so and even if its that big it should be a little lower on the bumper to give it symetry or balance...

but doug what the hell are you talkin about at least i've done work to my car you've done what? left it stock?
haha way to go on your mad mods
but not that i'm dissing the stock isn't bad but don't knock what i got

cause i bet that bumper you hate got alot more props then your stock

[prpnum1]

Damn i sense some hostility!!!! calm down killer. 3"??? what. no no sorry it is def. not only 3 inches and it is also not too high as you say it is actually lined up with the headlights.and doug i actually have the same bumper as him.

[playr158]

ok i'm sorry for calling your car crap, it might just be since the pic is so close and your not painted yet!

when your done i have no doubt it will look good!
but yea same front woot for the vader!

but haha i should really talk i don't havea front right now lol
