Aestetic stuff. Paint the interior, calipers, etc. Changes the whole attitude of the car.

i kinda like the grey though. the calipers def. need it. if i were to paint the interior, what color should i go. i'm getting my car painted soon, so i figured i should get something that matches what i'm getting it done. i'm going black and dually white stripes. you may say to yourself, ew, on a gl? well, the ol' gl is a little sportier these days. got a nice 3 tier spoiler, will be getting the se skirts extremely soon, and gonna throw on the old strut spring combo to get it riding nice. also relocating the antenna with a roof one. MUAH HA HA....sorry..got carried away..prolly all simple goofy stuff to some, but it gets me all happy cause i can finally afford to do it.

If you consider what you've done so far as cheap to moderate mods, then try some headers??
Cheaper? How 'bout some ST200 wheels. Can be had on Ebay for well under $200 - the full set!!
Cheaper? BAT 21mm bar.
Cheaper? How are your LCAs? If shot & you got the 2 bolt, under $120 for a pair - new ball joints included.
Cheaper? Fresh end links, front & rear.
Cheaper? Uerothane bushings
Cheaper? Bone yard fog lights if you ain't got 'em yet, with the fog light mod, of course.
How are your springs & struts? The GL could CERTAINLY benefit from some firmer springs & sporty struts. PM me & maybe we can work something out.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

Here's another - ditch the HIDEOUS 3-tier spoiler. 
2000 SVT Turbo 295hp/269ftlb@12psi
#1 for Bendix Brakes Kits!
Knuckles rebuilt w/new bearings $55
AUSSIE ENDLINKS $70
Gutted pre-cats $80/set
A lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine!
