do your interior, make your self comfortable driving your own car. Then once your comfortable, do the looks to make your car stand out and give your self more confidence of showing off ur car? (if that makes sense?) lol or vice versa. Either way it'll get you some where. Try to make your car clean, not ricey.

Interior ; make it nice and simple.
- Recaro replica front seats $300 second hand? (maybe i sell mine ;) )
- Vti rear seat? - Less than $100
- OEM black steering wheel - $20? off a breeze? lol
- Ek centre console - $20 - DIY cutting - Easyyy
- Normal sound system - In regard to this, like quangsuke said, it can wait. - $wait
- DIY your carpet, may be fkd, but once its black, its not noticeable. $50 max for materials?

Exterior for time being;
- Get a cheap decent rims eg. Fat fives, EK4 wheels etc. - $200 - $450 with rubbers
- Change your muffler to stock lol - To avoid the back firing :p - $50 most?
- Get an EG6 lip, try to avoid those cheap looking replica lip. Too common. - Second hand - $60?

.Dont worry bout EK side skirts,
.Door panels - DIY suede. Easy. less than $50 and looks great
.Mud flaps - No that needed.


All up you'll be spending a tad over 1k. Just try to think the cheapest way you can lol.( DIY, its cheap :) )

Think like a real asian bruvva!!!

Exterior first imo.

Little things make such a massive difference in the look of your car, things like ambers, foggies, lip etc impact it alot.. lip/ambers/foggies cost like $270 max and you get the basic decent look for your car, then you can spend the rest on interior like ek centre console, seats etc

thanks guys

ill probally just get
new front bucket seats, steering wheel from just jap
spoon mirrors from jdm yard
eg mudflaps, eg6 lip, ek centre console and ek side skirt from peter warren or maybe here
foggies, corners (still deciding on eg6, usdm or ambers )
black carpet, door trims etc from grey to black DIY it :)
and screw the sound system till last at sca :)
and for the rear seats ill just get some black throw overs off ebay :)

would you guys recommend that ? these shit should save me heaps of money like this ? maybe even 1.5Gm max on these ?

what you mean on these? o_O

keep your money. lol..
Lower ur car first and get some nice decent rims.
Interior, do bit by bit. Get deep dish steering wheel off ebay + bosskit. shouldnt cost you more than $100.

Keep your mirrors stock. Make it look nice and simple, dont do too much jdm shit on it.. or else ur car will be the same as any other jdm eg's around sydney.. lol no point.

imo, dont get foggies.. lol u might kinda regret it in the future.. (thats how im feeling now)

Get VTi seats. Nice and black :)
Get bucket seats later. lol
