Trying to decide wether I should take off the spoiler on the stock ls. I don't have a lot of money so I'm trying to do things to make them stand out from the crowd

I'd keep it on, I like the low spoiler, or if you really want to stand out get the high rise spoiler.

a blue granite metallic LS will never stand out from the crowd, spoiler or not.

Shibito

Don't listen to him, if you turbo'd your LS he wouldn't be talking anymore haha. There are people on here with some LS's that are better then a lot of S/C's or N/A's.

IMO, the easiest and cheapest is to swap trunk lids with someone that wants a low pro. if you take the wing off it'll cost you a good $300 to have the holes properly welded shut and then the lid repainted. unless you swap the wing alone for a high rise, but not many peeps go from high rise to low pro without also adding cash on the deal. you will find that it is very had to find someone willing to trade their high wing for the low wing unless you get lucky. also imo, the ss high rise wing doesn't look right on a base model. you'd be better to go wingless or keep what you got.

meh i would leave it on, sure the trunk looks good without the spoiler but everyone wants it off.

ok so i'm going to go out on a limb here, and i'm not trying to be an ass, but you say you want to do something that stands out from the crowd by removing the stock wing off of your stock ls. ok, but, you're still left with a stock ls that looks like a cheaper stock ls.

not being able to spend countless $$ on a car is understandable, it just means you have to be a little more innovative and creative with what you have at hand.

check out the how-to section. you'll learn a lot and possibly spark your own idea. if you do, document it with pics if possible and post up about it.

plus there a are a ton of things out there that are reasonably inexpensive and make a difference. browse through the vendors here and you'll find something.

you want something different? check this **** out...crazy. not a vendor here just some random thing i found.

Put a huge autozone wing on it and one of those mock air cleaners like that dude in the blue 350z with the "k&m supercharger"

For the time being, I have decided not to touch it, that way there is some re-sale value for everything else. Maybe when I get out of school I will decide to do something creative. but for now I'm going to leave it as stock as possible.

I agree with Fresh. Unfortunately that particular shade of blue screams "rental car" to me so I think you've got a real struggle to make that car look like its not right off the Avis lot.

lol looks like a new paint job is in the near future. Anyone know who has a good but reasonable pain shop in Sacramento
plus they don't pre-paint accessories in that color.

There's nothing wrong with blue granite metallic. Check out shortyhend2004's Balt. That is one sweet ride.

Leave the low pro wing, tint the tail lights, put some vinyl on it, get off steelies if that's what your balt came with, and lower it. You can sometimes find cheap halos on ebay or in the classifieds here. Shouldn't cost you more than a couple hundred dollars if you are patient and willing to put some work into the car yourself, and will make it look much more "personal."

I'm in the process of doing this myself. I picked up four 16-inch gunmetal 4x100 rims off craigslist for less than $100. And they look pretty damn good.

Your talking about interior vinyl correct?

Fresh

you can get vinyl eyelids for the head lights or paint them on, and you could wrap your interior dash pieces with vinyl, among other things. i chose paint. cheaper & easier. oh, and you could buy my MOMO shift knob! check my sig.
