if you want cheap outer appearance things, get some clear corners, some eyelids, window tint....etc.

oh and lowering springs..not as cheap as clear corners, but not ridiculous either

I would start with window tint, clear marker lights, LED bulbs for the markers and parking lights. If you want LED's for your interior they are also a nice add. If your gonna do a audio setup, 2 12's might be a lil overkill. 1 10 would be sufficent. I would then work my way from them simple mods to things like exhaust, intake, lowering springs, wheels. It all depends on what you want to do with it. And congrats on your purchase.

Colored fender vents add a nice touch, imo. I've seen them available pre-made but you can DIY.
