Best bet is to give us a budget and explain what you want. Ie. Bling, Peformance, Audio, Look nice and Sound Tuff???

http://www.aufalcon.com/cgi-bin/inde...s/Modification it is a good read for someone in your position. Also, a decent mod for the seires 1 is to slap in some series 2/3 rear tail lights Nick (Aye You)

OK 5k nice budget to start with.
In my opionion and that just mine if i was to start modding now with the knoledge i have i would go with: Full Exhaust Headers to Tips: Di Filippo about $1350 Fitted Flash Tune $1500 Diff Gear: anywhere from 3.73, 3.9, 4.11 depending on the amount of highway k's you do about $1500 Airbox: Xr8 Pod upgrade with BMC filter about $250 Lowering: Kings Springs in your size about $400 and that comes to five k and that would be a tough car. If you have and questions ask away. Thanks Jake |

Before you do anything, get rid of the whale teeth and put in a new Grille. you'll feel much better each time you look at it.
