If you are looking to make it look better, there are a couple things you can do pretty easily. One of the biggest changes is to tint the windows. With that red, a dark limo tint would look very nice. Also, getting some rims would be a good idea. I like those stockers, but you can do a lot better. Try Tire Rack or Tires.com for some ideas. Another easy way to change the overall appearance and performance is to lower it. A combination of Eibach springs and Koni struts are rather popular around here. Another easy thing to do is remove the door ding gaurds (those strips of plastic along the door panels). This will give it a smoother look. I did mine in less than an hour, of course I didn't have any clear coat underneath so now I have to get the doors repainted. Look around on the group buys page, Micah made the SVT front bumper fit for your particular model. You may also consider the other parts of the SVT body as well, the sides and rear bumper are interchangable, but not the front. Also, I can't see the trunk, but if you still have the stickers from the dealer back there, lose 'em!

I almost forgot-very nice car! Super clean and it looks good!

BAT Euro suspension kit, 16"-17" rims, tint. Good to go.

SVT "E0" (first generation rounded-style) wheels + tires. Maybe an SVT exhaust to give the rear end some love (and a nice note).

Lose those pinstripes! Otherwise it's a very nice looking car!

Get rid of the pin stripes. Get some rims and lower it.
