Default got $120 to spend on the exterior of my PW box

What would yall recommend? I want something to make my box stand out from the rest, but nothing tacky or ricey.

Ive been struggling between:
Full moon hubcaps
New grill, either a mesh one off ebay or paint my stock one black.
Blue underbody lights - downsides are: illegal on public roads, and only good at night
new headlights
new taillights

any other ideas? My box is pretty much stock, just debadged + some sticker tuning

Tail light IMO. The stock ones are Yuck Altezza red and clears are my fav but they are a little bit more than 120 like $127

Paint you tails, black out your headlights and get some bling trim rings. You should still have some $$$ left.

Hella horns - $61 a pair. Two pairs = loud enough to make squirrels jump.

^^^ same here, hornblasters are awesome but not worth the price, IMO. For 1/10th or 1/20th the cost, my setup rocks and im happy with it. ;]

I spent about $30 bucks and now my front end looks completley different. Just be creative and that $120 will go a long way.

hey, Itsmethemagicz .... Where did you get your center silver things on your stockies?? I got the rings, and i cant seem to find those center caps... i looked EVERYWHERE! did you order online or sumthing?? i found some "Dust caps" @ Pep Boys.. but i found only ones big enough for the front... but the bad thing is, i bought them to try to see if the fit, and i pushed it in a little bit.. and now their stuck!! and the rear has like a weird "Bowl" shape in the middle of it.. so when i tried to put ones in the rear.. they wont stay.. they keep falling out... so now im stuck with 2 front center caps.. but no rear.. so is there a special place you got them online?? or maybe im not looking right, please help!! thanks...

P.S. midgethearsexb . . . I LOVE YOUR XB.. very clean, but nice . . . i wish mine was still stock like that . . ever since i put lambo doors/a front body kit on.. i hate it, so much things going wrong with my box now.. some days i wish i can just drive it into the ditch....... BUT! i guess i just gotta take my time, and work slowly on it to make it get better.. lol but nice box.. :D

I used NAPA Balkamp Catalog #730-2411. Just take that number to any NAPA Auto Parts store... they cost about $5 for all 4 caps. They fit perfectly on all 4 wheels, just snap on and they stay on. Found the info on the Bling Trim Rings thread.

Though, they're not the same as Itsmethemagicz's as far as I can tell...

i found em at a local hardware store and they were already chrome. anyway i found em at pep boys too the front ones snap in fine. the back ones took a little bit of silicone to stay on. the ones front napa looked like a$$ to me, i could never get them to shine up like chrome. the ones at pep boys say they fit a 72-84 ford f-150. good luck man
