I see this with landscaping, I see this with home improvement projects, and I certainly see this with cars. Plan the entire car project before you spend a dime. Decide what you want the car to look like or what do you want to do with the car. Do you want a show car, a daily driver, a drag car, an autocross car, a roadracing car, etc.

Once you decide what you want to do with the car, start planning what upgrades you need. If you want a drag car you would want to install an M3 motor and appropriate tires, wheels, and suspension. If you want a show car you might want 18" rims (you don't want those on an autocross car, too heavy) and a body kit, for example.

By planning it out you will have a much more finished looking product in the end that meets your needs instead of an eclectic assortment of crud that will make the car look like a kids car.

That being said, what do you want to do with the car, and maybe we can help?
