Alright guys I'm new to this and i really want to get a lot of things done to my car. I know a lot of you guys dislike the appearance upgrades but i like 'em. Anyway im looking to have a body kit put on, a spoiler, some 18's, 2 12's in the trunk that i already have picked out, a new exhaust system, an short ram air intake, that ram air hood, possibly some brembo brakes, possibly some racing seats but i dont know how they would look, some new tailights and some new fogs. I have already put in some blue halogens, but i dont really like them and i want to get the ones that tylermGTP2002LV has on his. I dont know what to do first. I have friends that own a collision center that do work like this on the side so i dont need that many tips on what to do, but just what to do first. Also i had a busted speaker and when i was changing it out, i broke the door from the backseat into the trunk, should i go to a junkyard and pick up that door, or have the dealer do it. I dont need a lot of tranny work cuz we had it rebuilt a couple of years ago. Help will be appreciated. Im trying to keep a white and blue theme, so i got some blue neon already inside under the dash, im gonna get some for the trunk also, maybe i might even get blue racing stripes if i have the money. Thanx guys

Here's the parts im looking at:

would you like some soy sauce with that rice?

Just kidding. The Cold air intake, save yourself $150 and make your own. The racing seats are a bad idea unless you plan on making this a racing car cuz they're not gonna be comfortable. The wing and body kit arent my cup of tea, but whatever floats your boat. The rims look good though. (make sure they're 5x115 or 5x114.3)

The rims are nice...

If you're getting a ram air hood, then get an SLP intake and utilize it.

If you're heart set on having an appearance car, skip the ricey car parts and get this:
http://www.pfyc.com/pc/GP1021/GPEXT/Grand+Prix+F.1+%27Style%27-New+SD+Appearance+Package.html

This kit will really set your car apart but it'll get some respect instead of your car getting spit on. Along with those rims.. you'll be rollin in style!

The body kit looks cool, but the spoiler is WAY to ricey. The rims are cool, though.

Ricer is a derogatory term originally for Japanese motorbikes as 'rice burners.' It has since evolved into a style of accessorizing vehicles. Mostly, all show and no go. It also exhibits flamboyant and useless design, such as overly large parts (spoilers), cheap looking tailights (euros), large and multiple fascia openings, useless vents that are for looks only, and other mods that would be considered tacky or in bad taste.

I've posted this before, but here's some ways you can tell if you're a ricer. Enjoy!

You might be a ricer if...
