Default How to - Sound + Look good for cheap?

Hey guys. I drive an '06 Cobalt LS. So far the engine is completely stock, with the only exterior modifications being the back tail/reverse lights are tinted.

It's a manual, and I'm just looking for some cheap ways to make my car sound louder, look better, and over all just be somewhat different from all the other stock Cobalts I see out there.

Thanks for all the help guys!

putting a cloth/leather boot on the ebrake instead of the plastic casing.

So far i've done only exterior work - Debadging the back, tinted the reverse/brake lights with night shade. Planning on painting the headlights flat black later on today - then painting the front bowtie flat black.

Also - where can i find CCF Decals?

Sweeeet.

Also - I feel like I'm annoying everyone with all my questions - but can anyone direct me to a link or tell me the steps to reducing the weight of my car?
