Anythng I can do to my car, with little money

shamrock 05 · 04-11-2008, 11:57 AM

I dont have much money right now and I was wondering if there is anything that I could do to "add" a little more to my car. Things I have done
Exterior-sti splitters, rear aprons, sti scoop
Interior- kb short throw and kb shifter knob(car already has bushings)

Just wanted to get some ideas, if there are any.
Thanks
Ryan

Have you cleared and painted the headlights yet?

Super cheap, free if you don't paint. But I'd recommend painting the chrome 04 housings with some black paint...

Well whats your budget? "not a lot of money" could be a huge range... lol

Like no more than $40-50. I know its not alot (tough times

) Just trying to be creative and add a little flare

And NO I'm not trying to anything ricey

And unfortunatly I still live at home and I want to do my lights, but my dad would **** a brick if he came home and saw my headlights in the oven, but they will be done in the future

Haha try posting in the local threads, or if you have any local subie forums, often times people (at least in my cummunity) people bend over backwards to help other subie members out. Im sure someone would love to help you bake ur lights. Also, probably the best thing you could do for 50 bucks is paint your wheels, and maybe brakes! Heres a few shots of my winter stockers that I did.

Boostinbildo · 04-11-2008, 12:35 PM

Also, maybe debadge?

DIY front lip? some people hate it, but if done right it looks great. $10 at Home Depot.

Mr_Hox · 04-11-2008, 02:10 PM

The only thing about the DIY lip, is that its fairly difficult to get it to look decent on an 04/05 that have the STi side splitters. Looks kinda funky because the lip will bend down where the splitters are...

paint the interior trim and the A,B,C pillars black
red out the radio, HVAC, window controls to go with your STi cluster that you'll buy with your next paycheck

+1 on the black center console and painting stock wheels. Well for minor detailing you could paint the rear tow hook. How about LED swap for interior lighting, LEDs for the license plates and parking lights (I prefer warm white colored LED's but some prefer the bluish ones). Chrome door handles from a sti. You could get some model paint in the color of you gauge needles and put minor accents where ever you see fit, e.g. the small rivets on the window buttons. There are a lot of little things you can do for under $50.

My car came with the carbon fiber trim option, so I think I am going to leave it. Is the JDM red hazard button hard to remove. And why do people like it so much, I dont understand

wrx_eD · 04-12-2008, 01:11 PM

Its the JDM goodness...

tabrad · 04-12-2008, 02:09 PM

Also this is not going to give you anything lookwise but you can do the snorkus delete, gives you a reason to work on ur car haha

MF-DIF · 04-12-2008, 03:15 PM

Get some truck mudflaps. I picked up mine for .99 a set at autozone.
