What way should I mod my car
My car is pretty stock ATM and was wondering how I should mod it. My friend says to change wheels first. I would like to get the tints done on it first. What's your guys's take????

Do you have money? If so get the wheels and tires...then a drop...then do tint if you want...then you got a bunch of other shit to do...so just get started!

Try this. Form an opinion of what YOU want YOUR car to look like, then do it.
You car should be an expression of you and your individual tastes. Anyone else's opinion about the way your car looks is irrelevant.

It's your car..do what you want to it. Some people want to make their car faster, some just want to make it look better.
Personally for every car I would own, with an exception of an SUV or a van, first 3 mods will always be...35% tint, coilover, and wheels. |

Though I'm relatively new to this board, I'm a long time lurker and I always get a chuckle from threads asking for other people's opinions on things so subjective, especially when it's for appearance only modifications.

drop it
 the very 1st mod i've done to every car i've ever owned was to lower it, makes for an immediate and noticeable visual and performance impact. plus unless you're going for crazy adjustable coilovers, a new set of springs and install, is one of the least expensive mods you can start out with. mad bang for your modding buck  |

There are so many places to start. I would prioritize with what you want to change on the car first- looks (exterior vs. interior), performance, handling etc...there are so many avenues you can go down that you have to narrow it first.

 What he said minus the drop. If you do 19's then a drop isn't necessary - IMO
