Grats on the car. Props for admitting your age, most people that young don't like to admit it because the other guys just don't like younger people in these cars.

But it looks like you worked well enough with your grades to earn the car. So more power to you.

As for looks, depends what you're going for. A lot of easy mods are clear corners, painted grille, painted headlights, etc.

There's also a body kit thread that someone compiled that I'll have to find.

Take care of the car.

I painted mine. Had to break them open and painted the inside flat black.

I can help you do the grill as well. Since I'm located in the SF peninsula, and you're just in SJ.

Also, if you go to the main forum page, and scroll towards the bottom, you'll see a regions section. California is divided there into Northern California and Southern California. Hit up the Norcal section to speak with all the local norcal guys.

All up to personal taste, but IMO painting the bezels looks much cleaner than tinting. And in case you want to look up the second bumper in the recent long list of LR pics, its Kuruma Z, not Kurma.

1)Get a black grill
2) lower it

4) tint headlights
5) decent body kit (front,rear, side skirts)
And I think that's about all I wanna do to it.
Go to the Vendor classified section and search you find prices on things you specifically like. Me ball parking price on stuff wont be much help.

Smoking tail lights is cheezy and cheap looking tinting headlights is worse. Leave the tails alone and open the headlights and paint the housings. While youre at that paint the grill black scuff it with purple scotch brite and you are good to go.
