Well, as of right now it is bone stock. My funds are really low right now as I just got back to work after a layoff for 3 weeks.
But... I just ordered a led interior kit for the mismatching of the dome regular bulbs and the map lights that are led. I plan on getting some tint very soon. And eventually i was thinking about getting maybe some 18 or 19" rims (very undecided on brand or whether i want isf wheels yet) and I was also thinking about throwing isf springs on it and using my stock shocks to get like a 1" drop and have it not be too expensive. I really have no idea what i wanna do, I was thinking about hids but I watched a youtube and it was saying you had to drill one inch holes in the headlight housing and i don't really like the idea of that. anyone know if there is a way around this?
Other than that I'm still kind of exploring and seeing what everyone else is doing. Anyone have any suggestions for mods that aren't crazy expensive?

Like others have said, take a look around and visit the FAQ thread ... lots of good information here!

The reason you have to do this is because the bulb has wires attached and the easiest and best looking way is to drill a hole so they can come out in the middle. As long as you do it neat and right you have no problems.....the kits usually come with a rubber gromet to seal the hole around the wires. I have done it on 3 of my vehicles before with no problems.

Just remember when it comes to HID kits you definietely get what you pay for. There are some people that like DDM Tuning HID kits.....I have had quite a few problems with mine in the past. There is also a vendor on the forum that sells kits that a lot of people like I don't remember their name. I personally went with a kit from The Retrofit Source, Great quality and they use one of the best ballasts on the market. I have been through quite a few cheap kits before so this time I decided to spend a little more for quality and I coud not be any happier with it.
