Default Stock tc...Where to go

I have gotten a basically stock 06' tc with a few minor exceptions like shift **** and pedals. I want to work on the exterior first what would be the best move for me to make and i want to lower it a.s.a.p so if you guys could give me some ideas that would help me out a ton.

Along with the Springs, do a suspension upgrade. You'll notice a big difference in handling.

definitely get your drop next, then tint it. Then save up for new wheels?

First off, good on you for going picking Exterior and concentrating on that first. I went Suspension first, and it makes it easier to upgrade area-by-area instead of everything at once.

I consider lowering springs and rims part of suspension, but they do change the look of the car.

For the exterior, you can go with:
Kit
Hood
Spoiler
S2000 antenna > Stock antenna ($20.00 exterior mod, woot)

Or whatever else you can come up with. It's not a bad idea to write up a plan of what you want, with a budget. Just remember that with any part you get, it's going to need to be installed professionally or by you.

There are a lot of great exterior threads here, take a look around and see what you like!

In my opinion..No tinting anything on your car!..
(thats just me)
Then I would start w/ Lowering NO more than 1.5 drop
THen Intake
Then Front Strut Bar

Paint your emblems a Dark color...
Replacing the headlights, parking, so on...

Checkout my Cardomain link below!..for some of
my Mods....

You Can Do It In Any Order As Your First Mods:

Tint
Lowering springs
Rims

Everything is your imagination after that.

You can go with a body kit
HIDs or Aftermarket bulbs
