Paint the front grills the same color of your car, get a stock muffler or APEXi WS2 (something similar maybe?), and maybe suspension with some hubcaps would help freshen up the aesthetics.

i would say just make it like it is brand new (fix the mirror and whatever else is wrong) then buy suspension and wheels, then when the opportunity arises and you feel the motor isnt good enough, upgrade with boost or a new motor.

Thats a clean hatch man. If you get rid of it your dumb. I bought my eh2 for $1650 and i've put over $6000 into it, and i haven't even touched the hail beaten exterior yet.

First off, I'd try to start with a clean base.

Paint the front grilles on the car matte black. The color that is used for the stripes on the new Charger looks pretty close.

Detail the car if the paint is in halfway decent condition. A clean car will look a lot better overall, mods or not.

Fix all the things you can find broken on the car.

The of course look into finding a replacement interior. You might want to look at some of the options in other countries and see if you can get some select parts shipped over.

Then I'd suggest you read up before you start doing a lot of modifications. My car would be totally different had I listened to what everyone else wanted me to do. And I wouldn't like it at all.

Some things to look into might be:
- Suspension
- Wheels (and tires)
- Lips
- Passenger mirror?
- Different spoilers
- Exhaust

What exactly is wrong with it?

Some things might not cost as much as you think they might.
