to be honest, there's a list a mile long that i'd like to get done, but paying it off comes first, new summer tires this spring, i'd like to upgrade the sways, perhaps the rest of the suspension if i get a nice raise, i was tempted to change exhaust, but it seems it's improving with age. at some point i'll have to paint it, or at least the trunk lid, thin paint's been scratched and i've got rust showing through... love the car, and worth being poor for, (ended up with a 4 year loan rather than 5, so the payments are a fair bit larger than i was planning, but it will be payed off sooner...) yeah, i kinda wish the car was cleaner, but at this time of the year, good luck.

regarding your scratched & rusting paint: go back to the dealership and buy some touch up paint - it shouldn't cost more than ~$10-15 for their combination brush/paint pen applicator. then ask someone who knows what they doing how to carefully get rid of the rust and apply the touch-up paint.

within a week of buying my car, vodkarocket got me my first mod, the clear corners and we did my first photoshoot. that's all it took. 1 measly fvcking week, lol.
since then, i'm a total addict. just for hot import nights i've got ~$1500 very very carefully chosen and spent dollars planned. my moto is: "budget modding" as much as i possibly can. make the least amount of $ go the longest distance. unfortunately, as my car becomes more modded, that is a lot easier said than done...
*sigh* oh well. i've resigned myself to the mod king and bow before him

I think we should all blame ttrank for this "mod bug" the first time i seen his sedan it was it, i wanted to make it look that good but with my own taste added to it. And many $$$ later Im still not even half way to what his car is. I had the same toughts jsut mild drop and tints make an intake and thats it......never happened, you just keep going and going like a energaizer bunny lol
