Cosmetic. The motor has held up well and honestly I'd just do a few cosmetic changes and not even bother with bolt-ons. Save yourself some money and swap it if you plan on modding it more than cosmetically.

Best mod: go to advance and for like .99 you can get one of those for-sale signs for it.



It depends on what you want to do with the car. IMO I would do suspension first, but I'm a "twisties" sort of guy.

start with vtech!

how much $ do you have?

if u got liek 2k$ish? then put a decent swap in it...then you will have almost the same gas mileage and will be able to get to work faster

If it's your daily driver I wouldn't do much to it. Take Ritz's advice.
