go to the workshop build section or show and shine section, and look for pics. There's hundreds around.

A car for $1800? Before you do anything, take it to a mechanic and make sure absolutely everything is working A1, and then modify.

No point having a new car that breaks down every 5 kms.

Do what everyone does and put a sports exhaust on it, how much money are you looking at spending on it short term?

thinking about slowly building it up, so yeh bout $500 at a time, getting Midnight express in 2 weeks, then probably lower it, although exhaust sounds like a good idea!!!
what type??

I reckonn...

Get some King spring superlows, can find them in the For Sale - Spare parts section for pretty cheap now and then..
And get like a off the shelft 2.5" cat back exhaust with 1 muffler, pretty cheap these days, probably around $280 installed..
That will make it look and sound better!

Then do some stereo upgrades, headunit, speakers, 2 amps, 2 x 12" sub

Good luck with it.

Most members either go with a Redback or Lukey system, both pretty similar to each other, at the end of the day a pipe is a pipe lol

Def only go with one muffler if you want the car to sound tough! and a set of superlows will make it sit perfectally as well.

Your plan of Tints, Lowering and Exhaust sounds good to me :-)

Good luck with it all, and be sure to start a build thread in the section of the forums
