[fungijoe]

[Moloko]

you can put a body kit or neon on any car, so just get one you like.

[fungijoe]

i know hat, but like one that you guys would recomend, one that you thik is also a good overall car

[Angel5]

Go for an old VW Beetle.

What the hell is it with you and Beetles lately?

If it's just a commuter car, get a Honda Insight or Toyota Echo or something. You just don't see many with neons and a bodykit.

i was also lookin for a car that isnt expensive to repair

[fungijoe]

wow, i dont think id ever pay that......but a cheap car to maintain and a nice lookin car, for a cheap price, i know im askin alot.....

[Moparwagonz]

Join the lemming crowd and buy an older honda civic. Dont expect to get too many compliments from people over the age of 15 though.

toyota celica reliable, many different body kits for them, and cheap

[fungijoe]

i was thning abut g a celica.....an older one though, i like those alot better then the new ones, i have another question though, can i install a body kit by myslef? thanx for all ur guyz's help

[Fastback33]

If you have the tools and know how then yes, you probably could. I don't think anyone chould ever pay to have a body kit put on.....

[fungijoe]

yeah, my friends apid 700 for his kit to be installed professionally, i thought that was ludacris.i have some tools at home, wrenches n such, so i should be good........if ne of u gys can, try n check out my posts in the audio sectipon, i got some questions there too, thnx alot

[Asad]

[Hondacrx2002]

k, lol, thats fast, but need somethin that makes ppl go Ooo and ahhh, pretty, when they look at it

[Salvondax]

Uh. Those cars are slow actualy. (We're still talking stock here you 5ers.) And they're somewhat ugly. However they're probably better looking than the japanese imports from the same year.

Anyway. The reccomendiation here is basicaly "don't." You can't make a cheap car look like anything other than a cheap car. Simple. Try a car with heritage or something. Porsche 944 (slow as fucking shit), Porsche 924 (same deal). 80s Jags. 80s Benz. It won't be fast. But they'll be nice on the inside and hey. You've got a Benz right?

[fungijoe]

how much do porsh 944/24's go for?

[Moparwagonz]

Dont get a porsche . You will be dumping a lot of money for repairs etc. Why do you need a car to ooo and aww over anyways, especially considering your 4k dollar budget.

[GoldenArmedGod]

Toyora Pasco *shrugs*

Oh be bloody quite. A 924 shares a huge amount of parts with VW, and a 944 NA is as cheap... maybe cheaper, to maintain than a DSM.

You should be able to get a good condition 944/924 for 4 grand. I'd go with a 944 NA myself... looks better IMO. Either way, go visit www.autotrader.com and do a search for your area at 0-5000 and see what you come up with.

k thnx

[FutureMitsu]

since you dont want something fast i guess you want something reliable??
that would be a Toyota Camry
not the MOST stylish, but hey
itll suite your needs

[04boylm]

I have a 96 toyota camry, v6, XLE, its by far not the fastest, but it could beat a lot of the low end "racers", and i haven't had any problems with it other then the things every car does...Bodykits for toyota's aren't exactly "cool" but i imagine you could make it look pretty good with the right money and time...
