9005 headlight conversion
different guage lights or console lights
new shift knob
short shifter
new air filter (as was previously mentioned)
or even
stickers













just playin! haha
Yea, I'm sooo happy about having my own house and I can't wait to be outta school, I was just seeing if there was anything I could do that wouldn't cost me much-I'm NOT trying to buy cheap parts though-don't worry. But I already have angel eye projectors, had black housing clear corners - went back to amber, shift knob, short shifter, and reverse gauges..hehe....so I guess I'll just have to wait for the $$ to roll in... ::sigh::

Exactly

But, that kid clearly didn't read the post telling you to take off your airbox, you already have a short ram.

I'd just wait and buy quality parts. Sounds like you have the little things covered.

Yup. Totally agree with that. If you are going to mod, make it count. Unless you have the money to put into the car, keep it stock and reliable.
