    Okay lang Sir. Kaso linis ka ng linis dyan, mas kita kasi ang dumi sa black.

    ^ Nope if it serves a purpose. Kung hinde, wag na... lalakas lang lalo sa gas.

    I would suggest go for the sleeper look.

    Sell your rims then get stock rims instead. They will be cheaper in the long run as 14" tires are cheaper than 15", also, it will be more fuel efficient as your tires have less contact on the road, plus, the stock rims are most likely lighter.

    Then, find a surplus replacement for your headlights. From the picture, it already looks yellowish which compromises your visibility. Then ditch the tilting plate and get an acrylic plate glass cover instead. If your car needs a washover, don't hesitate to do so. A car's paint usually tells something about the owners TLC towards the car.

    After which do the interior. Upholstered seats, new set of dashboard, an upgraded ICE (nothing fancy) new SW, new shift knob, new pedals....

    Then do something about the engine. If you want to swap it with something more powerful such as SRs, go! If you want to retain the stock engine then just modify it slowly. Start with the I-H-E. Then you go from there. ;)

    Or f*ck the whole sleeper idea then do this instead...







    Though honestly speaking, for cars who are usually modified (sometimes poorly) it's great to see one around that's well-kept & stock. It's refreshing to the eyes. More mods doesn't necessarily equate to being nicer than everyone else, sometimes it just ruins the whole aura of the vehicle per se.

    thank you sir for a very good advise, i'll do modification step by step, actually i swapped my rims 14" from stock to that rota, without minding that those 15" will affect my FC,

    any idea if i changed the body color? and so as my rims?

    for the headlights, is it possible to clean? or is it really subject for replacement? honestly it really affects the visibility due to dirt inside the lamps. for shift knobs, SW, dash board its still intact and very fresh due to cars age,

    for tilting plate, ill remove that asap

    thank you so much bro renzo

    MOD sorry if its OT (im not sure)

    Depende sa tao kung gusto i-modify or hindi kasi yung kotse, or sometimes there's a stage in life na mag-switch na yung tao ng likeness. Me for example, my previous car was modified, the rims... lowered it, the muffs, to the lights then to the interior etc. But now, on my new car, though I plan to mod it I'm not looking forward to doing something extensive on the exterior. I now want a simple yet (even though a bit lang..) stunning look. It would be cheaper for me to go that was as well. :bwahaha:

    My point is, yun binibigay namin dito advice lang. If you want to do something on your car, do it! It's yours. If it what makes you happy then that's the most important IMO.

    Anyway, yup the headlights are possible to clean. You can even DIY it if I'm not mistaken. Toothpaste lang yata mababawasan yung pagkaka-yellowish niya. Meron thread dito, I'll try to find it kung saan. Kung medyo nalalabuan ka pa rin there are reasonably-priced halogens out there that would be a great help to your visibility.

    Changing your car's color would depend sayo. If you think the current one would do then don't waste any money doing senseless things. Kung 3-step detail lang naman kailangan then go lang. Mahirap din kasi pag nagpa-paint ka, baka lalong mababoy. Good quality paint is expensive. Hehe. Detail is a lot cheaper.

    Yun rims, if papalitan mo, okay lang din. Pero kung ireretain mo yun nakakabit ngayon, ganyan nalang yung color coz it gives contrast sa black body, unless you want to go the night rider look (black everything then osram NBs tas yellow fogs)
