lets see, I forget how the list goes:

Suspension
Brakes
Engine
Exterior
Interior
Tranny

Something like that. Id get some spring / shocks with a sway bar and beef up the brakes, then do the motor and some looks. Dont worry about rims (sometimes dropped stock cars look the best). And dont just throw a lip on there, cause thats what everyone does.

I would start with a short ram intake.AEM or Injen.You will free up alot of room under the hood,gain alittle HP,never have to replace another filter just recharge,better throttle response,better sound,awsome under hood looks,good for the motor,and best bang for the buck.Check Ebay!

Not even worth the money. Sounds good, but people know you've got nothing under the hood. :rice:

For every member that's in this site you are going get a different opinion!

So how about you tell us what's the thing that you like the least out of your new car. Audio, Performance, Looks?

If you don't know what you want to change, why are you modding? You either have an idea, or you don't. Don't listen to what others are telling you.

What do you want out of the car? Do you want it to perform? Look nice? Look like s**t (rice)? Figure out what you really want out of the car, then do some research!

i would so springs and struts first, then rims. then work from there, you got an 01 so no matter what your rocking hubcaps. so you need to ditch them, you got the EX or the LX/DX?
