I'm basically going for as clean of a look as possible. So far, to the outside of the car, I've put on 35% tint up front, 15% on the back.
Thinking of re-doing the hatch in 5% and the fronts in 25%.
Heard about doing an SVT suspension swap? For some reason I keep thinking that an SVT susp makes the car sit a half inch lower? I was thinking of going this route because a half inch drop is subtle, which I think is perfect.
I won't be doing any crazy bumper kits, chrome door handles, dual exhaust pipes coming out the back bumper 6inchs, crazy graphics, weird coloured paint jobs, etc.
Just a sleek clean look.
Any suggestions? What would do? A quiet mod like nightshading the blinkers for example wouldn't stick out on its own, but adds to the overall feel.

Unless your car is black you might also consider SVT ext rearview mirrors with body-colour caps
