Some simple things that I have done on my 02 that were not bad money wise:
1. Handpainted pinstripes professionally done. Subtle yet personalized.
~$150
2. Replaced all stock parking, puddle, and dome bulbs with PIAA Xtreme White bulbs (168, T6). Replaced map bulbs with Polarg M17. Now interior lights are white and not yellowish. Very sleek, kinda like the newer models.
~$50 for all.
3. PIAA Crystal Ion fogs for a yellow look. ~$60
4. Rear spoiler, however, the 92-01 ES personally I think looks better with a lip spoiler.

Did the shift **** and the emergency brake handle come as a set, or did you have to buy them individually? How much did they cost, and who sells them.
They look great!

In addition to what was already mentioned, I would also add window tint to the list. Pricing range should be between $125 and $250, depending on tint material and workmanship of the tint shop. I remember that I paid $160 for tint in my '01 ES, which was 20% on the back window, and 35% on all 4 windows.

I agree with the lip spoiler idea from StevieJ. I have been trying to find one my self for m6 04, but just can't find one. Does anyone know where I can purchase one? Thanks.
