high school car show Options

[jt_3212]

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!

we need to see some pics of the car b4 you do anything too drastic. LOL
this is what i'm planning on doing on my car which would end up looking very similar.
buy some high heat paint and Paint the valve cover red or blue and paint the calipers red or blue.
paint you interior panels a light silver similar to the SSIII

if you paint your rims i would suggest a gunmetal over black. or you could do it like pittfirefighter has his rims (looks really good IMO)

some few cheap mods i've already done
this shift boot
a 7th gen short shifter kit like this
a TRD shift ball fromt first toyota parts for like $20

then toothbrush clean everything. maybe get some of those EL Glow gauges or something if you are into that. otherwise get some nice LEDs in your gauges from culpable.
