Guys, How should I mod my car?
more thougths...
what about suicide doors....
deffinatly lower (to a low level stance)
bigger rims / low profile tires
dump hood ornimate
the hood on that opens forward right ? (lift at the windshield ??) maybe custom the trunck to open in the same manner - opens from the back glass and tilts up wards.
is there a eruo type head like for that (i`ll show a pic of whati mean)
maybe toss on old school buick "ports or port hols what ever they are called"

His hood opens normally. Only the T-Types etc. had suicide hoods. I hate working on them.
Bryce, it is not the quantity of mods but the quality of mods that you want to focus on. Just a few things such as shaving the "luggage rack", side trim and "bumperettes" (we call them overriders in VW land), a nice new paint job and some 17-18 inch wheels will make a world of difference without being ricey.
One other thing is maybe a logo similar to how Marc Turner has on his car. The Pioneer logo is just a shade lighter than his paint and is very easy to miss. Maybe add an Alpine logo one shade lighter or darker than your paint?

I don't think its possable to improve the looks of a vehical from stock. If you wan't a better looking car then you need to get a different one. Two major area that can always be improved are sound and engine.

WTF???
I don't even want to hear the engine/exhaust. I will just put on a good quiet muffler.
I want to do the doors, I'll see how much the kits are. </font>[/QUOTE]I was speaking in a more general form, sorry my bad. I know you have changed the sound system already. It just needs more HP to give those speedy rice cars a run for their money like any good car should. Outside appearence is fine, redo the same paint color would be better then changing it. I've had a Buick LeSabre 1990, it was a good beater car but my Olds is a different story, I've done the sound system, now the engine is going to get a make over.
ya know,,,,what you could do,,,, if you going to piant it black, i would leave the "spoiler" on the trunk, the back half your car would be to square with out it. drop the mudflaps, shave off the hood emblem, luggage rack(if equipped).again if going black you don't really have to lose the bumperettes. and if that is chrome moulding on top of the flat back bumper trim, i would leave that on too. put a little lower profile tire on your stock rims, which i would take in to have them grinded and polished, they would look good shiny like billet. thats what i would do, it would give it a classy "caddie" look. also lower the front an inch or two. Do more with less is what i always say. oh ya by the way the comment wilshire made abiut not being able to modify much from stock, couldn't be more wrong or far from the truth.
