First car cheap modifications

[howey]

OK guys I am getting my hands on a 60th Anniversary Commodore (Omega) in a few weeks, what are some cheap ways to make the car look better?
I was considering neons, spraying the calipers & mags and getting a straight through muffler. I am thinking my cap will be about $800.

No to the neons, leave that for the ricers. What colour is your car and what colour are you thinking for the mags and capliers? I would say go for the calipers and maybe get some 2nd hand springs to lower it. Also you can buy some quad tip mufflers off me : ), there off a VE HSV - bugger your in melbourne, might cost a bit for postage.

@RIP O5 the car is 'karma blue' - Id says its a light cobalt colour. I was thinking yellow for the calipers (?) and white for the mags -
Thnx Hussy - will check out those links

wow - neons, white mags = are you sure your buying the right car? looked into a 180sx or something?

Neons are for brothels.

Lower it first. It's the easiest way to make a car look better without spending a bucket load of cheese.

No to the neons and the white mags (i quite like white wheels, just not on the VE's) You wont be able to get an exhaust and (decent) wheels for 800. I'd be dropping it a little, forget about the neons and exhaust.

 

[RIP 05]

go with black rims and red calipers, but i would lower it first, just my opnion

 

[TinSnips]

$800 will cover springs and tint - that's good for a start.
