Default Pulled the trigger

Hi guys,
Well after months of searching I pulled the trigger on a 2001 Eclipse Spyder gt. It's red with tan top and interior. 30,000 miles, paid 13,000. I think I got a descent deal. This is my first Eclipse and am looking forward to some mods. Not performance, more for looks and comfort. I am hoping you guys can steer me in the right direction for some inexpensive mods. What or who to avoid. Don't have alot of money but a few things I want first off is some nice euro lights and maybe some new rims. I would love to get the tonneu (sp?) cover to make it a 2 seater or a light bar. Someday, maybe. It does have a kick *** head unit. Pioneer supertuner. Sounds great, hits hard. Any input would be much appreciated. I'll get some pics together once the weather stays nice for more than a day. Thanks, Jeff

well if you only really want looks i kinda like the dark tail lights, not the blacked out but the altezza one's. I really hate any chome euro's. to me they are ugly. But everyone has there own preference. And when it comes to looks i think everyone will agree, there is no right or wrong, as long as its quality parts. Another good looks item is headlights. Get some nice projectors. Here is a good pic of what they would look like (on the silver eclipse)

If you want to go with some fun stuff. Many people having painted the dashboards and heat vents , ect. That can look good if you do it right.
