tail lights would be a place to start...but bein the car is silver, i would think that some pinstriping might look best..
tint helps if you don't got any
other then that, it starts gettin expensive

you can get LED taillight bulbs at autozone. #3157. you'll need 4. i had them for a day and took them back. the thing i didnt like about them is that they dont light up the whole taillight housing that well.....from far away it only looks like a small red dot and just a little bit of red light around it. try them out and see how you like them...you can always take them back.

go to the how to section and check out my write up on pinstriping your tails. Its not permanent so you can take them off if you don't like them, and it'll only run ya $20 and a couple hours of your time. Theres a bunch of pics up there too.

I have a silver alero and did the pinstriping. I just took half of it off, so if you want pics of what it looks like on a silver car I can take some. Anyways it's a PITA to take off. :pissed:

I see you have a factory spoiler...keep in mind that the Razzi does NOT bolt up to the stock holes in the trunk..you have to drill new ones and (hopefully) fill in the old ones and re paint. Just thought I'd let you know before you got it because that is the only thing keeping me from buying it. <_<

how about shaveing your emblems that cost about 5 cents and it gives you a ten times better look. just use fishing line and hair dryer

u should definitely put vinyl graphics on it, they'll make your car look 10000000000x better, just like tribal's did.

I admit I am a clean 1 or 2 color guy but those are not bad graphics for vinyl. Don't hate haha :lol:
