Smile New to the Club

Hey everyone! I'm new to the website - Just happened to stumble upon it while looking at pictures on google of fellow P5s... I have had my '03 Yellow P5 for almost a year now, but haven't really put any money into it. I've decided it's time to make it look "better", so I need suggestions. I've looked at a few just on this website and I am amazed at the difference in a stock P5 and those that belong to all of you! I don't have any pics on my computer as of right now, but I'll get some... But, like I said, stock yellow P5... Open to suggestions!

I am not really sure on the price range yet - I know I'd like to get wheels and tires for less than a grand (total cost), and I had thought about a carbon fiber hood, but I've not seen a yellow vehicle with one - so I'm not real sure I'll like it - If anyone has pics, feel free to post! However, if I find something I like enough, I'll save the money to get it... It's as simple as that. I'm gonna focus on show and sound first - then I'll worry about go. My boyfriend works for an auto accessories place here in town, so he'll do the system for the most part -They've got a show in ATL coming up in April and I'd at least like to have the wheels, springs (needs lowering!), and sound before then!

First thing, tint the windows .... it looks great on yellow.
Second ... black rims are sexy on yellow!

Check it out,

Go easy on the auto store accessories if you're planning on attending car shows.

You guys are located in or around the ATL region? I'm in Birmingham, AL but we have a pretty good sized GA group if you'd like to hang out with us sometime.

If you want a combo of style and performance, lower your ride.

I've looked at some rims this week, guys, and let me just say as a first time shopper - It's going to be a TOUGH decision! I ordered a short ram air intake for the car this weekend - I'm planning on getting my windows tinted ASAP - I know a guy who does that for a living - so Maybe I can get a break on the cost - I don't think tinting is all that expensive around here anyways. Ok, get this - the big thing around here lately has been tinted headlights - I've had several people attempt to talk me into doing this - with yellow of all colors - I'm jus not sure about the yellow/yellow combination - What do you think? My tax money comes in this week!! Can't wait to order my springs!

Me? No lights tinted - but i would get the amber light bulbs...

Tint should be close to $200 for all the windows.
