I did the rims and calipers myself. I'm only 17. The rims look better in person.![]()

If it were me, I dont think I would want to accent my drum brakes. Rear caliper conversion is a must.

The problem with a body kit and stuff is that I'm young and work 16 hours a week. I only get half my paycheck (rest to college). So i need cheap stuff. I want an intake, tint, and headlights. I wanna tint my tail lights, some people say that look "noobish" though.![]()

Just concentrate on keeping the car clean and neat -- buff out those headlights, give the car a good wash, wax, and interior detail. Then stand back and see where you're at -- how you're feeling about the car. You may find your projects fall into a clearer order of priority once the car starts to have that cohesive quality that cleanliness brings.
One of the New Cougar guys used Nightshade paint on his taillights and achieved a pretty nice look for short money.
One thing I would recommend against is doing anything superfluous that costs big money. Just save it -- you'll be quite happy with that decision later on.![]()
