Default please help...

i seem to be having some trouble figuring out cheap things to do to the exterior of my car to make it look more pressentable (not that i'm not happy with it the way it is now) but i seem to be at a dead end as to what other inexpensive things to do...any help would be awesome, or some inexpensive ways to dress up the engine bay with some color, or even ways to improve power or handling for under $100...i'm still new to this site, so i'm still learning how to do everything, i'm surprised i figured out how to make this thread!!!

I covered all of the wiring in my engine compartment with blue corragated tubing, I changed plug wires to 9.2mm Blue wires, and I removed all chipped or rusted parts, sanded them down and painted them to make everything look new when I open the hood. I painted the valve cover gloss black with high temp engine enamel. Everything I did was real inexpensive.

yea i've already covered up most of my wires with that blue stuff and have yet to buy blue spark plug wires...and i also already have a strut bar and air intake which are both a metalic blue to...and as far as the underglow goes, my old manager has an old set of blue underglow that he says he's going to sell me for 50 bucks, only thing that's taking so long with that is the fact that it's at his parents place and he only makes it out on weekends but the odd weekend that he actually goes out there, he forgets to get it

I wouldn't do neon. If I were you I would go to your local autoparts store and get some LEDs made for the interior. They will last much longer. Here they cost about $20 American Currency. But I'm not sure how much they run in Canada. Seat Covers always makes your interior look decent specially if there are stains on your seat. Also shampoo your carpet. And if ya like get some new floor mats. Those could change it a lil bit. On a more costly side racing seats would be nice.

Ebay is always a good place to go for under $100 items. Good luck!

if i were you i would do one or more of the following: lower it, window tint, strut bars, paint valve cover, use BLACK wire loom, degrease it, aluminum acid the engine (makes it really good lookin), and if you can find a used front lip for cheap it would look real good!!!!

honestly i wouldn't do much to the exterior. too Ricer. especially not any underglow lights. Sorry but underglow just extends the Ricer image so many Import tuners don't want.

The only thing that pops into my mind are red honda emblems off a JDM type-r. You can buy them off e-bay. Gives your car a custom look. Also you can find emblems with a black backing instead of red, these come off a white NSX if i remember correctly.
