quick, simple and effective mods in little time...

I am sitting at home right now bored and want to do something to my 99 se-l. I just gave her 3 coats of wax, did the interior etc full detailing. Now, I am looking for something to do in little time, isnt too much $ and will satisfy. Any suggestions? And I am clearing out my tails during the week since I dont have a heat gun right now and everything is closed right now since its sunday. Thanks

Mike

Well, i would have to say front strut tower bar and clear corners. Those are two, really good and really cheap mods. You could also have some fun with interior lighting. KrzyMax had a really good idea about that, which i had to copy. But its too cool to tell people about, cause then everyone will do it.

Share the idea TintDaMax! PM me if you want to share the idea...

start with the tower brace and clear corners for sure. other pretty cheap mods include a pop charger or lights. i think it depends on what your are interested in.

cheap mods.. let's see....

-Lighting (change bulbs to brighter, different color to your likes)
-Shave emblems off trunk
-Clear rear tailights
-Mesh inserts in bumper/grille
-Exhaust tip
-Re-wire fogs and clearence lights
-Rewire tailights


That's all I can think of right now

i was gonna say for under $5 you can shave the emblems, get bumper mesh, and maybe make the door pillars body color, or you could get some engine enamel and paint the valve cover, or buy some polish and work on some metal parts in the engine, thats about it, later

Patience. Hey once you heat off the orange how do you get the light covering stuff to stick to the red top part?
