I have 1000 to spend and what would be the thing I could do to make it looked better. I have done nothing to its appearance.

Depends on your current wheel and tire setup. If they are decent, I would lower the car.

Do you have pics of the car? With out seeing the car, I'd suggest wheels/tires, a loud exhaust if you don't already have one.

Work out your suspension first, right stance & then wheels / tires come into play. Everything else is just add ons

Given this info, I'd say rims and tint. And I hear ya on the suspension. I can't lower mine because the county decided to put a bloody speed hump 5 feet from my driveway.

Yeah, wheels and tint will set it off. Try to be original with the wheels.
