Visual mods?


So Ive looked online and have an idea of where i wanna go with my 96.
First off wraps, These seem like a deal but ive gotten mixed reviews. My cars never been repainted except the bumpers which are a glossy red ckmpared to the rest of my faded car. Are they good for lets say about 5-7 years? Im sure after college Ill have some money to paint.
Secondly dropping the stance, I dont like the high look and want it lowered a bit. possibly even a bit of a tilt with a larger wheel in the back. Will this affect handling and what are good ways to do this?
Third fiberglass body kits. These are much cheaper but once again different reviews. Some love them, others complain they are weak or warp. Would a good brand of these be good or should I go the more edpensive route for urethane?
Fourth halo lights smoked, Im considering these but idk if theyd be ricy. Any comments in these? I know I want smoked lights and will probably get higher powered lights to compensate.

Third fiberglass body kits. These are much cheaper but once again different reviews. Some love them, others complain they are weak or warp. Would a good brand of these be good or should I go the more edpensive route for urethane?If you prefer your bumper in one piece, stick to Urethane.
Fourth halo lights smoked, Im considering these but idk if theyd be ricy. Any comments in these? I know I want smoked lights and will probably get higher powered lights to compensate.Yess they would be ricey!
Just my .02!

I was asking how people feel on wraps. Im not sure if theyre worth the money or if they are complete crap.
And I was looking at a saleen or cobra kit

either of those two front ends would look great...as for lowering the car...cut springs are fine...now being an older car your shock/struts are probly worn out...so if you lower it either with cut springs, or lowering springs....you're gonna want to replace those.

as for the wrapping...in alot of cases it's not too much more for a repaint depending on the location and type of wrap

wheels, drop, bumpers, hood, headlights and taillights, shorty antenna, brand new exhaust tips (since 98's got a way visible tips), detail the machine (lick her) and i think you should be done

The cars clean as possible, I detail it almost twice a month and have got 3 trophies from shows. Sadly its just worn and my step dad was on the verge of selling it after 10 years of having it.

If your interested in a fiberglass kit I have a Saleen kit under the house. It is painted black but needs a little work. The side skirts have never been installed and are still in the original gel finish. I had the kit on my wife's 98 vert until we sold the car. There is an area on the right front that needs some resin and smoothing and a spot on the back where a guy tapped her at a stopp light than needs to be sanded and resined up.

Honestly it is just under the house collecting dust and spider eggs because I have never listed it for sale. You can get it REAL cheap if you want it. Just send me a PM if your interested. I live about 55 minutes from the north end of Fayettville. About 10 miles north of exit 97 off I-95.
