I slapped some 2% window tint on (very bad idea) threw three 12" subs in the trunk (another really bad idea) and had red neon under the car as well as inside the interior. Now that I look back on it I really regret doing that and I wasted so much money on the stupidest things. I don't even like subs..... I only did it because that's what everyone else was doing and I wanted to be in the "cool" club. The whole neon inside and under the car is just as stupid as having really loud subs. People will just point at your car and laugh at you like no other. Don't do something you might regret down the road. It might seem like a good idea now but after a year or two your going to be hitting yourself on the head. Trust me I know what your going through and it's just a phase. Not saying there is nothing wrong with modding a car but be realistic and don't pay attention to those really souped up cars you see in magazines. The people who own those kinds of cars have plenty of money to play with. I imagine at your age your like me and don't have a whole lot of money to play around with.... so be wise with your money and think realistically.
