Try to decide what you want it to look like when you're done (theme?). I've been trying to do only what I would consider mods that look like they may have come from the factory (with a few minor exceptions). These include -
tinted front windows (darker than factory)
custom "USA" vinyl overlays on back-up lights
custom "USA" 3bl
American flag "decals" on opera windows and rear window
painted antenna bezel
shorty antenna
painted washer nozzles
chrome grille strips
chrome beltline
chrome door-handle scuff guards
chrome door spears
chrome bumper inserts (not yet installed)
chrome bumper "center pillow" (not yet installed)
all red taillights (not yet installed)
painted mirrors (on my wishlist)
chrome wheel-well molding (on my wishlist)...
and then I'm done with the exterior, unless you count chrome baby moon rims and new tires that are also on my wishlist.
My "theme", as you can tell is "factory patriotic", and I had this in mind as I purchased all the bits and pieces.
