what next?

Well here's the deal. I've got about 700 to spend for mods. at the moment im not really interested in performance modifications so i'm pondering appearance... both inside and out.

Here is what i've done.
* Tint all around
* Tinted Tail lights, 3rd brake and Side Markers
* Carbon FIber Bowties
* SS/SC Wing and front Bumper
* Shorty Antenna
* Smoothlocks
* Lowered
* Rims (in the process)
* Projectors
* Short Shifter
* Custom Mats
* Momo Shift Knob
* Momo Grid Mats

This is what im thinking...

1. Upper and Lower BLACK Billet Grills (about $230)

and here is where im stuck. i've got about another $470 to spend but going for appearance. anyone have any ideas? btw car is kinda a blacked out theme if you want some pics just check out my garage for an idea of what it looks like so far

this site has them with the option to have them black instead of polished or brushed. it was about $230 shipped to my door including tax for CA resident.

Not really sure how carbon fiber would flow on a orange balt. to tell ya the truth i dont think i've ever seen it

i'd go with some black rims...i think unknowns were the popular choice here
and you can always go with the recaros like someone up top said
maybe some suede interior or paint the dash...any of these will work

those grills look very nice, and i think they would go great with the black balt

and since ur into doing appearance mods, then why not go for redoing the interior? possibly an indash nav or something

i think that you should black out the plastic going arround the cd player and across the dash (that always looks nice) and or maby doing some black-outing (just made that word up) under the hood.
