Suggestions???

I was thinking about selliing and I don't want to break the bank so a $20,000 body kit is out of the question on this 7 year old car. I am wanting to do some fun things to it perhaps even a color change. I was offered $21,000 on a trade so who cares about resale. You all have some nice cars and have done some nice things to them so I am asking for suggestions. It's still my daily driver so the engine is going to stay stock.

Here is my current car.

I would just leave it alone and enjoy it.

I keep flirting with getting a Gallardo or a 360 CS, and I am torn. How has your G been? Thanks.
