I have question! I want to do some exterior work to the exterior of my Tib but Im not sure what next. I was thinkin some nice ricer grille mesh but the chrome might stick out too much. Im doing clear corners asap and my tails have been swapped out but what next?Next spring Im gona drop with rims so I'd like to look after the details over winter. Im on a budget, must sweat the small stuff if ya understand my thinkin! Newaze anyone that can do a decent photoshop for me haller and I'll send a pic. Also can I paint or somehow color the spoiler light...if I can black it out it would look sweet!

If you live anywhere with hills, I don't recommend dropping anything or getting a bodykit. We just went down a hill and scraped so hard I almost tore the front end off. I say get LEDs just for fun 02.gif That's what I'm doing lol

you could use nite shadez, with clearcoat on the spoiler LED, and that would probably look good

but what type of exterior stuff are u wanting to do? become a ricer Xtreme

or make your car look like it SHOULD have looked out of the factory.

or do u want it to have a huge extreme body kit??

what are ur tastes like.. post a link of a few high rez pics of ur car..

I like this sleek or all black syle that people are doing. Dont want a kit just something that makes it look sleek. I like my car to look mean and clean!

painted interior, $30 in paint and supplies, 15 hours



chrome CAI 1hr $40, strut bar .5hr $50, paint 2hr $10



Stripe 1.5hr $10, painted rims 4hr $20 clear corners .25hr $80



altezzas $50, removed lenses, painted cobalt blue $50



But, i think the best mod i've done so far is my theft deterent device. 2hr $10 I keep getting complements on it. Click to play.







Also, LED corner bulbs from superbrightLEDs will cost $30

^^ Int = interior? Every RDT COTM has a painted interior with the exception of a small few.

Don't go crazy and paint the WHOLE interior. I saw that at NOPI... looked like ass... Dude did it all in white.. ugh.

Really it's all about what you like though.
