What is the first thing you notice on a vehicle?

Generally her headlights and then the rearend ... err, you were talking about a car ... hmm, about the same.

Definitely the headlights, they're like the car's eyes, and the eyes are the windows to the soul.

If im not looking at it... its the sound... just certain sounds of cars will turn my head real quick

How its put together.. (I love my hatch bc all the lines match... nothing looks out of place)

interior i like simple sexy.... like our 3's.... oh and no wood... its a mechanical object... why would you want wood... i have my own... :lol:

The wheels, especially if they're ugly obnoxious chrome. Then I see the car that's sitting on those ugly wheels and feel sorry for its poor soul if it's a hot car. Like the new Maxima's (YUUUUUUUMMYYYY). I tend to see those with ugly wheels and get sad, cuz it's such a hot car.

Rims and tint.

Which are the first 2 mods I've made to every vehicle I've owned, minus the 3 of course since it came with 17s.

I have to agree with stranger, wheels & tint.
Cars always look better with tint!
And wheels, oh wheels, I've been searching for 3-months for wheels. I've resorted to chasing down any 3's that remotely look like mine that has aftermarket wheels (for that matter even other OEM wheels) just to get an idea! And damn the internet, so many wheels, I'll probably still be deciding when I am ready for a new car!
