first things first. there's quite a lot of mods for your car. remember, it's all personal preference. if you want to know how something looks (i.e. front bumper, hood, side skirts), use the members button on the left. search for the mod you want to see, and odds are you'll find something.
the F.A.Q.'s are really informative too. they go pretty in-depth, and are written for people that have no prior knowledge for whatever task. use the search button if you can't quite come up with something, because odds are, someone's asked the question before. sometimes you do have to phrase it for the search to give you the best results.

welcome! and yeah what he ^ said
I would say at this stage of the game, the biggest thing you can do is plan and make a budget for yourself. Too many people get a car and just throw a part on without thinking of what their ultimate goal is or how much money they really want to invest in their vehicle or even how long they will have/want they vehicle for.
When you decide this (and I mean really think about it) then we can help you further. There is no point in modifying a car that you're only going to have for 1/2 a year and invest thousands of dollars into, know what I mean?

NJHKx2 i agree totally. since your new to this stuff i'd start w/ a few bolt-on goodies just so u can get a feel for the hobby. maybe a set of rims or a ram-air hood. just simple stuff
People say that what doesn't kill you in this life
will make you stronger. I'm not sure if that is true
or not, but i do know one thing-You have to learn from
it and it has to make you better.......it has to.......
Welcome. /\ /\ /\ Is right. Also figure out what you want to end up with, that way you can plan what you'll buy and not need to re-do something cause you later change your mind. That and have fun with it. Its your car some may not like what you have done but till they help you pay for it ignore them, they are known as haters. Beware of them but do not let them mod your car for you.

Yeah, most people do start out with bolt ons but if I could do it all over again and if I knew what I know now, I would go straight to boost because the thousands of dollars your spending on bolt ons and minor engine mods (cams for example), you gain so little power but when you're already boosted, upgrading your exhaust is great upgrade...upgrading your cams is a great upgrade and it goes from there.
