Default Looking for advice on mods

Hey I have a 02 gs3 sport design wondering about which direction i should go with mods. Smoke or non-smoked tail lights, head lights, Rims and anything else that would look good on it. Just looking for ideas. I cant really find any other pics of others with my same color which is why im asking

Stay away from all mods! Don't do them! Mods are the DEVIL!

Look around CL and FIND the mods YOU want based on your preferences. Its your car.

im just looking for some ideas cant really find anything when i search. Just looking for ideas maybe on what other ppl have done to theirs. The headlights have to go cuz they are really hazed up and ive had them restored but everyone is telling me that they are burnt from the inside... Hate it when my car is clean but the headlights are hazy..

OP, what kind of money do you have to spend? That will help when determining what mods are suggested

ok so here goes the pics of it(i know my cars dirty i wash it every week but here in Florida its dusty lol) you can't really see how bad the head lights are they still look clear in the pics but they are not. They have like a weird tint to them. I wanted them to be clear but was thinking of getting some smoked halos? Any opinion on those? or alternatives?

Just get some wheels and get coilovers and never come back here again. Or else you will find yourself broke!

wow the head light is ugly, sorry... :x i think the prev owner swap it w/ whatever headlight, cuz sportdesign headlight is hella expensive ! you might want to start your mods from the headlight first. retrofit it w/ LS430 or M45 projector. Personally, i don't like smoke headlight nor smoke halo, but again...this is your car

then coilover, then rims. all those 3 mods will cost you about at least $3K already

A fellow GGP sport design owner

Don't put tacky parts on her whatever you do! Try finding 03 sport design headlights
