yeah, the $470 (+delivery?) includes front and back...
and you get to choose all your colours
(inside colour / outside colour / stitching / logo)

i know the feeling about trying to find additional cash to
upgrade straight after you purchase... maybe wait a while

here's some neon pic links for ya -

well the FTO isn't for speed, so dressing it up is probably the best thing you can do for it. buy a turbo if u want speed.

looks like a standard neon kit to me...
if you're after neons wait for Supercheap Auto to have a sale,
they had their neon kits on sale a couple of weeks ago and were cheaper than that.

if it was me i'd probably look at LED's rather than neons...
longer lifespan and reliabilty, plus you can get 1 kit with 4 or 5 colours,
rather than neons that tend to have 1 colour only.

Yeah dressing up is good, just some people got way over excited and gone over board with it.

You can still do panel filter, cat back exhaust, lighter wheels with performance tyres....the list can go on and on.

FTO388 is correct, new intake, zorst, wheels, suspension, new seat covers! I would do all of these before neons :P

there are a number of things you can do before you need a turbo.

Just find the darkest place as possible, use a tripod and with no flash, provide that you camera have night setting, you should get something like below.
