    What kind of stuff did you have in mind?
    A turbo, exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it. With a supercharger, air goes in, witchcraft happens and you go faster - Jeremy Clarkson

    Well, almost everything you do will cost you something, but if you replace things as they go out, it can be a little more cost effective. Like you could replace you stock air filter with a K&N filter and get a little better performance (maybe better MPG). Painting your calipers is fairly cheap too (I think the paint is like $7?) if you are good with soldering you can do a LED swap on your gauges for around $20-30 if you do the work yourself. There are quite a few cool mods that people have done on here that were fairly cheap. Search around and see if there is anything that catches your eyes

    (Please forgive me if I am wrong about the prices, I'm still kinda new to this )

    You could paint the rims black.

    There are no dumb questions. If you are not sure or don't know the answe

    Painting the interior trim (silver) pieces is a start. Removing parts for weight savings (performance). Swapping the standard automotive bulbs in the car with LEDs can inexpensive. You can also add LEDs under the dash and seats for dramatic effect.

    The best and most inexpensive mod is to your local Club-tC Forum with our decals. http://www.club-tc.com/forums/club-t...able-soon.html

    You could also paint or tint your head/tail lights. It's inexpensive, the spray is like $10 or you can buy overlays from bluebatmobile.com. They have various styles and there super easy to install.
