Mod Bug - What's next?

I know there are a fair amount of these kind of questions out here ... but here comes another. I may have caught the mod bug, so now I'm wondering, what do I do next?

This afternoon, with the help of Born4Flying, I have added Blacklines and matte black kidney grills. I am also looking at different wheels, but I will be taking my time. I plan to keep what I have until next winter and put winter tires on these rims. Then when those aren't needed, put summer tires on the new rims. Any thoughts or ideas?

The picture below was taken earlier this week, so the blacklines and new grill aren't visible here.



Thanks!

Its so true...Really sucks and the addiction is pretty costly too....This forum really doesn't help that addiction at all either.

Thanks for the info guys ... Right now I'm just looking for quick and simple mods. Most of the suggestions listed don't appear to be quick and simple on the surface. For the first year I'm trying to put most of my emphasis on paying down the note, so when next year rolls around I can feel a little bit better about modding. I know ... Sounds a little silly ... but that's just me.

Mainly, I'd like some suggestions for wheels that would go with this color that won't break the bank but will still look sharp.

I do like the idea of a spoiler and it's certainly on the list.

Not sure about the drop though ... This is my DD, and I'd be concerned if I needed to get out and had less clearance than I already do now. When it snows I don't want to plow, especially on my way up to the slopes.

Thanks ... and yes ... this forum and the suggestions are expensive and addicting.

Change out your angels; d1s, fogs

Painted reflectors and grilles would be next cheapest mods

EDIT: you got grilles :]
