Yep. Surf through the builds section. There's tons of great ideas on what you can do. Rex's build is a great one for lots of ideas to customize your ride.

Pull the front air dam. Paint the wheels. Remove the badges like newguy mentioned.

okay thanks guys! im thinking off debadgeing it because my trim is all worn out/sun faded on the outside so i might try that! also i have two small fog lights i may put on top of it. But for the rims im unsure on how hard it would be because they are alluminum sooo how would i go about doing that?

scuffing them down really well and use plasti-dip and if you dont like the plasti-dip will rub off

No scuffing needed for plastidip! If you dothat and don't like it and pull it off your left with scratched up paint
