It was his car since 98 and its my graduation present this year..he wants a car to have an original look and wants to look and stay clean...So i am going to repect that since it's the best thing he has ever given to me...I repect that guy alot, hes a good dad. He is in the army, currently making his way to being an E-8 which is a master sargeant...he has been in the military for almost 20 years and has been to combat and has served his country, so why not listen to him. Im sure he has his reasons for not letting me do stuff...sorry for being off topic...just wanted to put in my .02 cents.
here's is a great example...
Yea, I really dont like to take things for granite...Though everyone does, i did when I got my speeding ticket, the day I went to court my dad was there for me in his uniform, and my case was dissmissed, I almost paid 362$ out my pocket, but thanks to my dad, i think he really perswaded the judge when he notice that my dad was there to support me and that he was in the military. Even though i got chewed out and grounded, it was over all better then paying for this ticket, BTW it was 67mph in a 35mph zone( I was actually at 80mph then started to slow down when the cop passed me) it was a very dumb thing, anyways...The judge had said the Cop did not write down how fast he was going when he clocked me...so i guess "technically" he had to throw the case out...which of course he didnt...(off topic)

While under the parents roof you have to respect the laws that are laid down- I don't question you for that at all. But at the same time I know what its like. 5 years ago it was hard buying parts and having them delivered to the parents and explaining what they were to the parents without them questioning it.
There are quite a few things you can do to the car that aren't permanent, won't affect resale in the future at all if you keep the stock parts. But honestly, there are so many cars out there, the chances of yours being worth a lot down the road are slim to none. The older cars that are fetching the high dollars are the ones that have been in storage since they rolled off the factory.
Just keep it clean and you will have a nice looking car.

People really need to stop calling everything JDM though. There is nothing JDM about those lights... yet the image says they are.
I love the black Halo lights though, if I ever get a 98+ Chev, you better believe I'm putting those on, very first mod.
