I am still debating whether I want to customize my car after it gets paid off, or if I want to buy a new one and then customize it myself.
Anyways, I want to know your opinions on what vehicles you think are the best to customize. (i.e. - which look the best, run the best, etc.)
(EDIT: I now realize I posted this in the wrong forum, so if someone wants to move it that'd be cool)

Thanks Neuro. Now I think I might be leaning towards keeping my car and customizing the shit outta it.
So here is the car I currently have:

I'm thinking about getting these 18" rims (and possibly removing the stripes that are on it right now, cuz I'm not sure if they would look good together):

And here are a couple of the body kits I'm looking at:

I personally think the Axis rims and the first body kit would look fuckin tight together.
.....Feel free to add any comments or suggestions! :D

Personally, I'd rather tune the engine and horsepower before making it appear fast, when in actuality it's stock. There's alotta cars with body kits and rims that look hot, but their engines are all stock.. just doesn't fit well.

Yeah, I'm more of an "appearance person" I guess you'd say.
And I'm in the law enforcement field, so I can't really be a dumbass and drive around goin 120 and shit, feel me haha?
But yeah, I'm sure I'll get around to all that when the time comes. Until then, I'm just trying to get everything situated and figure out what all I need.
--damn, he did destroy that STI

LOL, that's cool. I'm not really looking to race, just have a nice car that I can be proud of and maybe show off every now and then. 8)
Any more thoughts? Do you guys think I should stick with my Pontiac, and trick it out once I get it paid off, or go for another car that I can customize like a Civic or something?

Pimp my ride???LOOOL!!!
I always wanted to have a Hummer but hey I don't think you have that much money. :?
And I think that the engine and the looks should be pretty much at the same level,I think neons are crazy,under the car the hood and in the trunk.

yo If your going for looks, dont stick with the Sunfire, its ganna end up looking cheap..
trust me i know so many people who have customized there sunfires..
and yo Underglow aint a good Idea, theres ganna be problems up your ass with it, cause dust gets in and fucks it upp...
better just to get it in the the car and above the Radiator...
