Looking for some cheap (~$50) exterior mods to make the car my own :) - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

pancake · 10-02-2015, 02:30 PM

I really want to make this car my own and unique without over-doing it (in terms of both money - and straight up ugly).

I don't have the budget to buy a body kit (I don't really want one tbh). I plan to buy a rear diffuser pretty soon, as well as a K&N air filter (I know this isn't exterior).

But that's what I like - ~$50 mods I can throw on once a month or so as I can afford them. Honestly I want to rice it up without being too over-the-top. I refuse to put anything on with words (stickers that say 'fresh 2 death' and that nonsense). I know some people will flame if you like rice or your car looks ricey, but FOR ME...I like a little rice..

So anywhere around ~$50-~$100 or so, let me know what you recommend!
Preferably exterior

BTW: I have a WRB if that matters

I say save up for some coils and spacers, gives the car a clean look on stock wheels. Just saiyan

Get the replica ebay body kits. Oh! & get a tablet mount for your car if you want! :P good investment.

Tape a $100 bill to the dash. No one else has done that yet?

This has the best ROI. OP seems money conscious so mods probably aren't the best thing. However, I think LEDs would be a cheap start that make a noticeable difference. A Yospeed custom plaque would be nice also.
