Just wondering what free mods would make my car look better. For example cutting out the front grille or something. Give me some ideas. It's a 4dr lx in white.

I would have to agree. Me not having any money kind of is an issue when I want to pimp out my piece of shit. I mean car.

I don't know about FREE, but a cheap mod that will greatly improve looks is a good old wash and wax. :)

Yeah, right. I dont know if you looked outside lately but it's snowing. I dont think I am going to wash my car in the snow so it can roll down my driveway in the solid sheet of ice the water created.

well a real cheap mod is to spray your rear lights all red. Or you could respray your molding black, that really makes the car look nice.

doesn't painting the rear tailights cost money for the paint?

*clear turn signals are the cheapest!

Also you could removie the pinstripe and the trim on the doors if you have it. When I first got my Accord that's what I did and it made it look a lot better.

Oh yeah Take my wiper things off.. in Washington. Yeah, I know! I'll just crash my car now.

I dont know about free, but I bought hubcaps, and they looked like shit. So I put the stock granny racer hubcaps back on. Word.

Tuesday I am off to get the oil leak fixed that was supposedly fixed at the shop. Then after that... the carb gets to be rebuilt. FUN.

Now THAT is cheap. :rolleyes:

Jack some dudes NSX engine and install it in the backseat/trunk. Take the trans too and any other relevant parts to custom mounting the engine in the rear. it owuldn't look better but it would be a lot faster. :D

take armoral and whipe down about everything in your car (moldings, dash, steering wheel, shifter, the arm rest things on the doors, antena hub thing, and about anything else that could use a shine). clean your windows. wash and wax. hmm..... just clean the hell out of it and after that you could try makeing the clear turn signals.

i would agree with the washing and waxing idea. Hell, I dont even own a 3G but every time one passes by i turn and look because it is such a nice looking car, stock. If and when I get a 3G I will not change a thing appearance wise.
Thanks for listening,

Mike

ram it into a wall at high speed in reverse.
That should give u a spoiler look when ure boot lid lifts up.
And it will also look cool because it will b a 4 door hatch!
oh and its cheap too.

one of the sweeter for free mods would be to:
oen your trunk
pop out the little door going to the tail lights
switch the bulbs

this will make your brake light s look sweeter

it's not that great but it is free so....

I don't think so, but i guess it depends on who you ask...

Personally, I put blue lights behind my side marker reflectors, so now it looks green and rice-ish!
:rice:
BWAAHAAHAAHAA!!! :tongue:

(Actually, it's more of a test on our Olympia/etc. cops... I'm testing how long it takes them to finally figure out that I'm NOT going to take out my damn lights when a po-po passes by, eventually i'll just get pulled over, now it depends when... been 2 1/2 months already, i thought they would have been a little better about this shyte.) *LOL* :flip:

So, yeah, you could always replace your bulbs with aftermarket, APC (A.ltogether P.athetic C.rap) and what-have-you... not exactly free, but it's cheap.


Oh yeah, BTW, I've also got aerodynamic features on the driver-side fender (i.e. neat little crash damage). ;) It's Swinky! ...So you can always crash sidelong into a concrete highway barrier at 1:00AM so that [almost] no one sees you! Weeeee!

DRAMATIZATION:
"No really officer, it was something in the road... Well, I don't know what it was, it was dark... Breath-a-lizer... what's a Breath-a-lizer? Ohhhhh..."

Sorry for the length of the post...
