--Background Information on the Car--
Bought this baby for $2,000. Well, not really. I put $1,000 of my money towards it, my grandparents lent me the other $1,000. It had 108,500 miles on it and was in excellent condition when I first got it in late June. Now it's sitting at about 111,5000 and still in excellent condition.
Anyways.
Everything is stock: The rims, the sunroof, the spoiler, and the cheap ground effects. What I really like about it though is, it's a 5-speed manual transmission. I love driving a stick. When I first got the car, I didn't know how to drive a stick. Yet within about 2 weeks or so I was fine.
--Background Information on where is this 16 year old going to get this money?--
But I might be getting some money directly rolling in to me every month come December. At least $700 USD. Why? My dad died in 2001 when I was 7. Ever since then, Social Security has provided my mom with money for my brother and I. We get at least $700 a month EACH. That money is supposed to be spent on us. What does she do with it, and what has she done with it since 2001? Pretty much blew the money.
At the start of this summer, I moved out and I have been living with my grandparents ever since. Well since I'm not even living at my house, my mom is still getting at least $700 a month to spend on me, yet I don't live there. So come this December, my grandparents are going to take custody of me and therefore the social security money will be directed to them, and then they will hand it right over to me and I can do whatever I want with it.
--What am I going to do with this AT LEAST $700 USD a month?--
I plan to pimp my ride. I'm going for all out appearance for it. I'm not really putting anything for performance to it except for a muffler/exhaust/whatever it is that gives that low "rumble" noise to the car's exhaust. I'll be starting off with a sound system, not just subs + amps, but the whole nine-yards. I'll then move to a window tint, then to a spoiler/rear wing, then giving my car the "rumble" noise (dunno exact term or what gives it that sound), then towards a body kit, then car vinyl, then new head lights and tail lights, then a fog over my head lights (maybe tail lights too, idk), then the last thing I'd do is use either Neon or LED underbody lights and also purchase lights of the same color to put UNDER my front and front passenger seats.
--What is this thread/topic/post for?--
I'll be browsing and searching through many exterior and possibly interior appearance enhancements and be posting them here to keep my collection of options. I also welcome any suggestions and opinions you guys would have towards the upgrades or options. This is basically the very beginning of a car enhancement/upgrade log if everything pulls through and I start getting money come December/January.
