I'm short on cash right now and I want to do somethings to my car to make the interior or the exterior look a little nicer. My tiburon is an 01. It has a dent above the wheel on the passanger side so that was one thing I ws thinking about but I don't know the best way to go about it. But if anyone has any suggestions untill I can get some more cash then that'd be great. And I'm not looking for big things just little things that don't need much money, like maybe a 100$ or under? I'm going to do more things when I'm done paying for the car haha.
Anyways yeah don't flame me thanks, lol.

buy a dent puller and take out the dent.
if you're electronically inclined, look up tibby01's LED needle mod, or check out some of the other LED projects if you want to make it look good. also see the resonator removal diy, or get an ebay cai. change your oil, air filter, fuel filter, tranny fluid, etc.

Throw in some LEDs. If you've put in neons, you'll want to switch to all LEDs once you've put a few in.
Check the DIY section, there's a few ideas in there. Especially the windows switch/door handle LEDs, and the shifter surround LEDs.
LEDs are super cheap, if you're worried about cash. smile.gif

This is what my shifter looks like in the dark. Probably the coolest mod i've done on the interior (in my opinion). And cheap.

I'd second the LED idea! And I can help you out with any LED project. You can get 100 LEDs and resistors for a couple bucks on eBay, and can do an infinite number of projects with it. You'll need a cheap soldering gun ($20) and some electrical flux (~$3), and you're good to go.
Forget the dent puller, just get a hair dryer and electronics cleaner (it's a bottle of CO2 with a nozzle and trigger). Warm the spot with the hair dryer for a minute or two, then turn the bottle of cleaner upside down so the liquid CO2 comes out the nozzle instead of the gas. Spray the liquid CO2 on the dent for a short bit, then as the frost melts, "pop!!" out comes the dent.
