Start with some lightning heads and corners. Then a new set of rims. The basics.

I was looking at some halo lights and LED tail lights. I already tinted the windows and got a 2.5" true dual straights with Flo Pro mufflers. I gotta admit its pretty loud.

I believe my first mod was switching the headlights and taillights out or it could have been the Gotts Mod. Just check out peoples build threads, you'll see alot of mods/pictures.

If you go with projector headlights never put HID's in them. Unless they are retrofits from the retrofit source.

Horrible glare from them, check out the lighting forum on here for better pics. And yea its a difference not huge but its the same thing as buying a cold air intake without the price. Its definitely worth it if you have the spare time to do it.

I bought some afermarket projector hid's a while back. Couldn't see past the hood at night. Then I bought some lightning heads and corners. If you want hid projectors get some lightning heads and get some hid projectors from the retrofitsource. Check out Raptors other threads on here.

Well after a little frustration with my removal of the intake, i finally have the Gotts mod done it seems like my exhaust is slightly deeper and idk if it was just me but it had a bit more power.
