- N1 exhaust (make it sound meaner, right?)
- New wheels (understandable)
- Coilovers (this is for lowering, right?)
Some things recommended by the Toyota dealership (these are services they said they offer):
- Tinted windows
- Rear spoiler
- Cold Air Intake
- Lowering
Some other things I've heard of/seen people do on Youtube (I won't be doing these, too expensive and warranty at risk of void)
- LS engine swap
- Turbo charger
- "Rocket Bunny" body kit
- Diffuser
- Sidesplitters
- Headlights (BMW angel eyes on a 86!)
These are pretty much all of the mods I've heard of so far. What do you guys recommend for a noob? Looking for mostly basic/easy/cheap-ish mods (under $500 each)
I'm definitely doing Tinted windows above all else. The sun is eating me alive.
Also quick question about spoilers: does a modestly small spoiler impact performance at all or is it just more for adding a little character to the car?
Also, from what I understand, exhaust is only about changing the engine sound, right? Not really performance enhancement?
This is exciting, I have a car I can do stuff to make it look or drive better!!

I think my first one was running front floorboard LED strips off the dome light. Costs about $25 in parts. its easier if you find a LED board festoon kit that already has exposed positive negative and negative leads. then you don't even need to cut any factory wiring.
Edit: I did red leds of course.
