Looks like you've blinged it quite a lot already.
Try some 16" chrome rims... NO SPINNERS!

and wheelarch neon.
If you have a snowcap, that's a nice place to put some neon aswell...
Darken your windows.
If you have a lot of cash respray the car in a pearlescent paint.

i would say gold rims are the way to go on a black car.. there were some 16" ones off a clio on ebay. looked tastey

Indeed, everybody does that stuff. "BLING BLING" originated form the States and is spreading all over the world now...

At the risk of my wheels no longer being unique, i have some 15" racing hart CP-035R on mine(theres a pic on the forum somewhere, or search for them on google), they are the right offset so wont stuff ur suspension settings, Bob jane T-marts is a distributor, and you CAN fit 17" wheels on the 360, but i found it impractical, otherwise it would look wicked, word of note with tyres, dont put bigger than 205's on the front, the 205's ARE the limit. This doesnt apply to the back wheels.

Dick Smith electronics has a range of Neon computer lighting, the're brighter than the ones you get at most car places, you could use the laser pointer ones as number plate lights, the law requires they be well lit, but nothing saying they must be white.

Engine bay illumination would work well as there is a few possible points to mount lights.

Kingsprings make lowering springs for the front, you'll have to make ur own lowering blocks for the rear thou.

Whatever you decide on, just make plz make sure it follows a theme (ie all green illumination) and/or has some taste, have fun

That looks ehhh... colorful

Not tu sure about the red and yellow combination though...
I would go for just the red or just the yellow.
About the dash... dont paint it unless you paint it black.
If the sun comes through the whindshield and the dash reflects on the windshield you won't see a thing.
If I am going to add some neon or led illumination it will be green and maybe some orange to match the dash lighting. It will probably look good in and under my grey car.

Keep up the good work!
