My girlfriend bought her 2003 Coupe back a couple of years ago & it is still pretty much stock. She doesn't care about performance. She is all about looks. The only thing that I have done for her was re-tint the windows a little darker. 5% in the rear & 20% in the front. She is getting a little tired of the look of the car & has always wanted wheels but just can't afford them right now. Is there any not too expensive things I could do to maybe change up the look a bit? I'm going to get the front & rear bumper painted again due to rock chips & someone backing into it. Here is a pic of when we got it home.

 

Rims aren't always expensive. You can get you a decent pair of OEM19s or aftermarket rims afford-ably. I am selling my 19s along many other on the boards that are as well. Just try to find someone near you to save on shipping cost and try to work out a deal. But if she has her heart set on a certain wheel, then I'd say save up and get what she wants. It's always about making the girl happy in a relationship

 

you should get her an oem front lip, oem 19s from the forum and clear corners or some led corners like mine

paint the grill black. Get a front lip. Paint the headlights

 

Paint the headlights what color?

 

I have always liked the red with black accents (black rims,headlights,tinted tails, etc. )

 

hmmm you can black out the grill, headlights, taillights, and rims like everyone suggested.
then you can always lower the car, i think it makes the car look even better.
oh yah and front lip too

 

i personally love the black/red theme. So either black them out or color match them red

 

How would I black them out? Any pics of this?

 

you can either do overlays over the lens or you bake the lights, pull them apart, and paint the inside housing. Another suggestion is to upgrade to 06-07 HID headlights as well. Alot of the earlier models do that aswell.

if you are already planning to repaint the front and rear bumper, why not just get her an aftermarket kit?

 

She doesn't really like any of the after market kits. She likes the front lip & side skirts. What if I was just to tint the headlight lenses? I don't feel comfortable taking the headlights apart.

Go with him. He offers alot of options for sure!

 

get OEM 19 rays, OEM lip spoiler, and + spring to match height.

 

Howd you get your clear corners to blink? I bought my car with clear corners but im pretty sure they dont blink when i use my signal
