Cheap Appearance Mods?

Alright so im wondering if you guys had any ideas for some cheap and easy appearance mods I could do to my car theme is yellow black and charcoal grey...

Here's what I've done so far
Exterior: debadged except for SS on doors which are black now..blacked out tails..black projector HIDs.....lowered on sportlines...evo mod and black fog light area...powdercoating stock rims gloss charcoal grey and painting my Brembos yellow with a charcoal grey Brembo sticker.

Interior: MSD Dashhawk mounted on steering wheel column...amber/white prosport boost gauge replaced stock one

Engine Bay: custom powdercoated Dejon CP black with SS and Dejon in yellow..yellow powdercoated HKS BOV...K&N SRI..Black solid mounts

some pics might help, just to get an idea of what can be done.

and after the wheels are powder coated, maybe paint the bowtie yellow.

If you look in the how-to section, theres an inexpensive mods thread.
That may give you an idea.

Well interior wise, recover headliner in black cloth, paint pillars and dash trim.

As far as exterior that you haven't already mentioned: tinted tails and
3rd brake light, led 3rd brake light, make some custom led tails. Other that that I think you've pretty much covered every appearance mod.

yea It was one that you need to do to really get the idea, but the paint job was quality work.

yellow black may be "played out", but it works.


this inspired me to try the grey
