Black grills, front lip, angle eye bulbs, tinted windows. If the car is a base model, you can swap bumpers. Lowering a car could also improve the appearance.

There's not really a "best" in exterior mods. Just do what you want to it to make you happy, because in the end that's what matters.

But if you want ideas then yeah as stated above, headlights, bumper(mtech, m3, 1m....), wheels, rear bumper as well, wings/spoilers, wrapping roof in vinyl, tail lights

I just got these custom exhaust tips that look nice somewhat like the performance exhaust tips.

So I don't know what the best mod is (a lot of good ones - and a couple not so god ones have already been mentioned) - I would add to the list Pre-LCI side mirrors if you have an LCI vehicle

M or Performance bumpers, small drop and good set of wheels, are all you need
