Why is your door ground trim piece missing in the first pic?
 
After reading your profile it sounds like your going in the right direction with your car which looks very clean buy the way!! :thumb:

What are you looking to get out of your car for the most part?
 
Looks like a pretty clean car. You already got stock tails, perfect. The rims are pretty nice, Id just take off the center caps and put some beefier tires on them, as the low-profile tires dont really fill the wheel well that great, looks a bit odd. Other than that, just some tint and youll be set exterior wise. The only thing 2g's need is tint and a drop, maybe a front lip too ;).\

*Edit*

I noticed in the first picture the door handle was broken and part of the side skirt was missing, but the next pic everything is fixed. If the top pic is recent, then get those fixed. Oh yea, take off those stickers too LOL.
 
yeah LOL it didnt but i have purchased a new one needs to be painted i need a new bumper now bc i broke the spliter loading it when i picked it up. (oh yeah stickers have to go ive already taken some off) :)
 
i usually go really dark but they are getting really hard on it in my state how dark would you go?


I have 20% on my little side windows... I wanna do the other 2 side ones 35% as well as the back one.. around here cops care about window tint but since I know just about all the cops in town im sure they can let the 35% slide cause I've seen a lot cars with tint and I dont see them getting pulled over unless cops dont have anything else better to do
 
Get 35% tint all around. It's not too dark and yet not light. Just good enough for a clean look. That's what I have on my spyder and it looks nice. I think 20% is just too dark cause you have an darker color already.
 
I forgot to mention a good thing to also do is a retrofit HID. Trust me it draws attention and stands out. I got one my own.
 
Tint at 35%, bigger tires and/or rims, HID retrofits, lip kit, and then go fast toys and upgrades.

Also make sure the maintenance is all up to date.
