Default so what apperance mods?

ok keep in mind that i am a poor college student, and have to make rent. it took me a LONG time and A LOT of tint to do my windows since i try to be a perfectionist. im thinking "whistler" mod on the head lights, has anyone done it? pics? i also tried tinting my headlights and tail lights but completely failed at that. so any ideas???

pics (spotlight is gone,along with front plate)

the gold chey logo is a really hard plastic and i dont know how well paint would stick to it, even with sanding. a overlay would probably work. the paint on the hub caps was chipping so now the hub caps are black. and rims and tires are way out of my price range

awwwwwwwww i want that spotlight!!! lol that **** was badass whyd u take it off?? planning on keeping ur 9c1 rims??

but as for looks, i say rims of course.. i personally like the "stock" look so maybe get some rims from a different trim (ltz, ss) or watever your taste is, color matched bowtie.. colormatched headlights if you have the time, or spare set of lights to use..
me personally if i had a white impala, which i love the white they use, bastard.. lol
i would get the reverse light painted white to match the car, leave the red area red, and get some white color matched rims or some black rims.. just my 2 cents..

i really want black rims thinking around 18 inches. but i cant afford rims right now. i think today i am going to do the whistler mod.

the spot light was annoying cause in wind it would flip, or at high speeds. and the rims that it came with wernt the ones with the chrome center cap(i assume thats what the 9c1 rims are) ill take pics of how the headlights turn out in a few hours (havent even started yet mom is using oven baking a cake)
