I just got a new stereo recently.
well so far i have in mind is probably getting rims and lowering it, fog lights, maybe window visor and maybe a CTR grill
Yeah i was thinking rims & lowering it. You can't have rims without it being lowered eventually just doesn't look right, at least not on my car. Um maybe some speakers to go with your new cd player. As for all the other thats on you those are just all little touch up things lol

yeah im thinking of getting new door speakers and rear speakers but i don't know what good brands to replace my stock one's with. I just picked up a 12 inch Kicker subwoofer and im planning on getting a JL audio amp soon. and yeah as for the touch up i just want to make it look clean, not much on the motor cause i might just do a swap
I have an alpine head unit, alpine door and rear speakers, and alpine 12 and a kenwood amp haha, The problem with mine is there is a wire problem so the driver side doesn't work. I plan to get everything rewired with 2 alpine amps one for the small speakers and one for the sub. I'm going to attempt to do a custom box but this is all when I have money again.

haha nice. I just want it to have nice sound system lol, i might just leave my speakers stock for now and hopefully it doesn't go out cause i want to get the amp so it can sub already lol
Also window tint maybe. Craigslist is a site that makes it very easy to pic up car audio stuff
The more mature side of me talking first: Save your money and set your priorities straight first. Even if you're only in high school and still live under your parents roof, responsibility is important.
With that being said, do what you want. I've (regrettably) spent a couple thousand on my car and could've dumped it into a motor but instead I dumped it into suspension and appearance.

Second that!
I may seem like a noob but what does form + function mean? lol I mean I understand it somewhat lol

yeah im planning on getting tint but level of tint should i get? i want a dark but a legal dark
as for priorities they are always first, I don't go to high school no more cause i already graduated and yes i do live under my parents roof but i do pay my part of rent and i bought my own car, I pay for my own insurance which i paid for 6 months so i don't have to worry about paying it monthly and i always pay my phone bill cause its needed! and im not too much for the power right now im just more into getting nice suspensions and appearance at the moment, maybe a motor swap later on then ill work on the motor.
and im a noob myself but I think thats a suspension brand out there. cause people have told me to get FF coilovers
Get your car running right first. What ever maintenance is needed do it before you start modifying your car. So many people I know have a nice looking car that is parked in the driveway because they car broke down. But on the other hand I think a drop and rims is the fastest way to change the look of your car. Throw a lip and a grill in there some where if your into them.

oh my car is running strong. I took a road trip not to long ago and it was a 6 hour drive and i had no problems, and thats what im thinking of doing next. dropping it and rims and maybe a CTR grill and a lip would be good too.
thanks for your input.

Skylar - Form means things that change the form of the car... visual things (body kits, paint, headlights, etc). Function means things that change the way the car functions (engine parts for speed/acceleration, suspension for handling, etc).
Form + Function means you get them both. A drop changes the form by lowering the car, making it more visually appealing. It also improves handling (function)
kg - Then get it as dark as you can get it legally..
