alright well I'm new to the site and have had my 97 Gt hatch for about a year now. i've done very few things to it besides a small sound system and some lights hooked up throughout the car. all of you seem very helpful and i have my high school car show coming up soon. i'm poor haha. so i'm trying to keep things cheap but if you have any mods you would recommend for me to at least start a little buzz about the car that would be nice.
 i'm more looking for styling as i drive just for economy but if you have some performance ideas that are fairly reasonable that would be cool too. i'm also kind of inexperienced so obviously i'm not going to throw a 3s gte engine in there anytime soon.  so just looking for ideas! i'll put up pics soon! Thanks!

wait; first an edit to my last post. Unless your wasting your money on lowering coils, than to upgrade your suspension to handle a decent sized drop is going to be several hundred dollars as well.
BlueVert, i think i've seen your interior somewhere... Didnt you post it in a thread? I believe it looked pretty good... Or maybe that was someone elses.... -------------------- QUOTE (presure2 @ Nov 6, 2010 - 6:16 AM) Via FB: fcuking awsome!!! D-man FTW!

Or maybe that was someone elses.... lol..don't think it was mine, I might have posted a picture like a year ago, but most are exterior for my pics. I should do that next photoshoot You can see my seat covers (sort of) in my sig, not too much blue. I agree w/ griffgirl, you should think about some cheap dress up for under the hood too (paint valve cover,relay box cover, and stock front strut bar if you have one). And of course clean it all up while you're in there.. edit: this is what I'm kind of talking about, nice and clean and simple...
