Default What to do next to my car?

I am planning on putting a few dollar's into my car soon but what should I do. I have been thinking wheel's, exhaust, or just lower it then wheel's. Anyone have any idea's?

Lower it and get a new grill for sure. I like the billet ones the best and I think it would look great on your car, but I also like the body colored ones too. Wheels would be nice, but a color like SOM deserves unique and outstanding wheels, so choose wisely... lol

Lowering springs, rims, grill, clear corners, and the head light mod might look good with your car havent seen that combo yet. Nice car tho.

Lower it first and then get a nice set of wheels. Possibly exhaust 1st if you want a meaner tone.
