Are you looking at parts or modding your parts on the car. Like tinting a sedan cost just under two hundred. You can black out the inside of your headlights that's thirty dollars.

I have a orange sedan and that's what I have done so far.

i have the front sway bar from the SS TC for cheap. 40 plus shipping. suspension on the base models IMO is the first that should be modded as its crap

That's a pretty nice deal ^^^

Tint, hids, ss body kit, 18s

Suspension

Something to work to:

Powell Raceshop Street Rear Sway Bar
SS/TC front strut bar (im selling one cheap)
FE5 struts and shocks
Peddar Springs
05-06 SS/SC Control Arms (yes they work i did it)

How much do SS body kits go for?

 

[cobalt123]

no just the SS/TC rear sway bar.

link to the suspension. this is the best combo for delta platform cars.

yeah ill have to try the suspension but i just kinda wanted to work on the outside before the performance stuff, what are some good things to do for the outside, plus what are some good, cheaper websites that i could get some parts from

I just picked up lens tinting spray at the auto parts store for $13, tinted my side makers and 3rd brake light, can be used on all nights though if your looking to do that. I had used regular window tint to do it and that just looked crappy up close. I got halo head lights and smoked led tail lights on e-bay for less than $300 for all. Just gotta look around abit.
Not sure where your from, but if there are any flea markets around ya, I got my windows tinted for $110 with a 2 year warranty at the flea market.
I have been fairly successful with doing my car on a budget. It can be done.
I got a under light kit, street glow, at the auto parts store for $70.
