Welcome to CL.

As for what to do, it will depend on your goal and budget. Some people like to tweak the suspension, some like aesthetics, some like power, some like electronics, ...

Most seem to like to start with wheels and drop.

welcome to CL. The search button is your friend. Where are you planning on going with the car? I would do the lowering/wheels approach first and see where you want to go from there

Welcome to CL!! Budget dictates mods. You could start off with clear side marker lenses or go right to F(orced) I(nduction). Most upgrade the wheels first followed by lowering.

Welcome to CL... All depends on what you want to acheive... I think a nice drop, wheels, and exhaust will set you apart from others right away... Good Luck...

Welcome, search around for a while, browse the galleries. You'll start to get a feel for what you like and what direction you want to go with it. Just have fun and mod away.

Welcome to CL. I would agree with the previous comments. Wheels followed by a drop.
