Wheels and a drop are a great start!

Just make sure you don't cheap out on wheels...Get a nice set to start out with

Thanks ! I'm located in Del Rio Texas, About 2 hours or so from San Antonio. Also on the wheels what kind of wheels do you guys think would go with the brilliant blue ? Any suggestions. I'm going for a staggered look for sure.

Welcome to the club.
+1

Wheels/drop is the BEST mod u can do to the car for cosmetic appeal...also functionality should u choose a lightweight setup. Just be sure to go at least 9" or wider (pref 9.5) on the wheel, i learned this the hard way Those bulbous fender flares need to be filled out properly and anything less doesnt quite cut it IMO! As far as types of wheels for ur 8, i always liked the white Volks for that color....if thats not ur cup o tea then u can never go wrong with all black wheels.
