I always tend to get a bit light-footed when I'm asked for my opinion on appearance mods. My typical canned response is;

"Taste is highly individual. Ultimately, you're going to have to be the one to stare at it every day in your driveway so do what you want to do and screw what other people say."

That said, if I was to be asked what are "popular mods" that are most likely to please the peanut gallery, then I would spill out whatever the kids are buying these days which are body kits, exhausts, wheels, ect...

When I personally build a car I have a very simple rule that I follow.

"A car (and/or engine) should look as good as it runs"

So now that my disclaimers are out of the way (whew!), just make sure that your car is clean inside and out (attention to detail), nice wheels are always a plus, and whether or not you decide to get a kit, you should make sure your paint and body is top notch.

Good luck on your project and pics would be a bonus!
