Have you ever worked on cars before? Do you have access to tools and a space to work on your car? What will you be using the car for? What do you want out of modifying the car? These are all questions you need to answer.

Otherwise I'm gonna say "put some stickers on it and a new air freshener and call it a day" because I don't know A. what you want to do with the car and B. how adept you are at working on cars. Most of the mods listed above are easy, if you know what you're doing.

I've done an average amount of work to cars. Installed power windows, power locks, headunits, speakers, intakes, grills, headlights and such.

so my mechanical skill is average at best. my biggest concern was effecting warranty.

if i can go put in a new pioneer headuiit and some speaks without worrying about warr im set : )

As long as you wire it properly and don't cause the wiring harness to melt, I'd say you're good with the warranty!

I would advise not doing this yourself. Hold the syringe in your hand and then look at your car once and you wont have the balls to do it yourself. I promise.

What's your definition of "for a while"?

I find McQuire's NXT 2.0 to be really good and it stays on it for a good half year or so. I apply it every year cause winter here is too long can't wax in the cold.

I think a good weighted shift knob is a good easy mod, if you drive a manual. Makes shifting much smoother.

Opti-coat requires a steady hand, and patience applying it. I couldn't do it, but there are other members who did it themselves. I would also say you need a relatively dust free environment to apply it.

I installed the Perrin 2" shorty antenna today...it's literally the easiest thing ever. You unscrew the stock rubber one and screw in the perrin metal one...looks dope too.
