Question New to this, where to start?

Hi all. New to this entirely. Not experienced in cars at all. Just had a thrilling adventure learning how to disconnect the batterys' negative terminal. LOL
Seriously. A first for me.

Im interested in simple but effective penny mods, one to get my car to really stand out and look nice. Any suggestions on a few a beginner could tackle?

Looking for appearance mods, and performance tweaks.

I LOVE YOU ALL

-Jeff-

The king of the "penny mods" is a user named Ratdaddy. Go to the top of this forum and click on "search", then 'advanced search' and look for all posts by Ratdaddy.

Welcome.
Try Streamline Design - I have a graphic on my trunk lid that has been on for 5 years - looks great.

Hey their havocxrush,

Welcome to the Forum.

This isn't really a mod per say, but is not very expensive, and can make your new PT stand out in the crowd for sure. Here is a Link:

Go easy, welcome again, and I hope to see you around.
