Here are some things I did to my 96 that really didn't cost much. A good stereo system always helps. I had 2 12 in. Crossfire BMF's with a custom box and a 1000 watt Crossfire 1000D amplifier that cost me $500 total. I had an Alpine stereo that cost me about $350. I took off all the emblems and side moldings and that made an instant difference. Lowering it and rims are also important differences. Tinted windows looks great too. Dual exhaust. Neons underneath the body. Then after all that my bodykit that I made and is now available for sale made a big difference. Here are some pics......
