great ideas. thank you everyone. for now i'm gonna do some easy stuff in the interior (LEDs, new seats, gauges and shift knobs, maybe some painting). maybe i'll even take off the ding strips.
as soon as the weather warms up, i'm gonna get to work on the exterior- new rims/tires, i'm going to repaint the car red or black, find and install an SVT body kit (hopefully). and i'll get to work on the engine/exhaust.
