remove the front license plate holder. doesnt look like a state issued plate up there so it doesnt seem necessary and will clean up the look.

IMHO, don't do anything...save your money and use it for something worthwhile instead of wasting it on a car

If you really like your car and appreciate what you have done with it, then it is far from a waste of money.

After those things then you should ask what to do next.

the smart thing to do would be to save your money...but i am assuming that you are probably young...so that isn't going to happen...lol
i would go this order.

Dont forget the huge window banner that adds a minimum of 10 hps 
Manners what your into, if your into audio then id say do a whole sound system.
Performance: Cai, Exhaust, PCM
Visual: Tint, Rims, Lowered, Bodykit maybe?
Just my 10 cents |

Tinting the windows really improves the visual, I did 20%and I love it. Not to dark not to bright, just riiggghhhtt!! If your tires are wearing Id sugest not getting new tires for your stockers, just go all out and get new rims and low pro tires |

I know Les Schwab is down in Utah. Their payment plan makes a balance up to 1500 dollars 75 dollars a month. When I got my rims, things were a lil bit tight, but I wasn't going to skimp on tires, so I was looking at 500 dollars. Why spend 500 on just tires, when you plan to get rims later any ways and you have to spend another 500+ on different tires, then the tires you bought just sit??? Just give it some thought before you decide.
