What Should I Do to My Car?

Hi, I have a 1996 Chevrolet Lumina it was my first ever car and I decided rather than move on and drive my truck or any of my other cars  I would upgrade it. I put it $800 in speakers and a sub yesterday along with a touch screen GPS/Blu Ray Player/Radio/Stereo Head. I am thinking of Leather Seat covers. The standard spoiler that came on the Lumina if you choose to order it. I am going to stance it add some nice rims and probably re-paint it. 

 

This is what it looks like currently.

You should drive it, drift a corner or two, and put the biggest subwoofer known to man kind in it.

throw it away and buy an economical car that doesn't destroy the planet.

I personally am not a big fan of small modded cars without modding the engine. You could plasti dip various parts, but idk if that would look good on a silver car. :D

Like what @TheDoubleYGamer said, it's not cool to be pimping these cars. No matter what you do, they just look like shit no matter what. I say you can possibly ditch it and go with a nice cool Japanese car, like an Acura Integra GSR or such.

so it's 40 35mpg? why don't we all buy chevrolet luminas with 3l v6 engine, since it's more economical than a hybrid?

Seriously? My Mazda Protege can't even touch that. And my 2010 Corolla is about the same for a smaller size. WTF?

I don't get how a 3.4L engine sips less gas than a 2002 Mazda Protege 2.0L I4.
