ok so i was playing around with photoshop and i think i came up with the combo i want.. I love the look of saleen side scoops and ive always loved saleen rims.. tell me which pic you all think looks best... also if anyone has any pics of anthracite fr5hundo's please either post them so i can photoshop them or can someone photoshop them onto the 2nd pic??????? anywho here they are:

from this:


to this:


to this:


I love my stock rims and you can't beat their 17lb weight but when i upgrade to 13" brakes i don't think they will fit under the stockies and i'll have to buy new rims..so let me know what you think..i'd rather have Anthracite FR500's but i had no good pics and if i went saleen id rather have them in silver, or gunmetal , but chrome saleens always look sick....just some thoughts i had

:SNSign:

Dude your car looks clean in those pics even w/ the stockers on there. Anthricite FR's would look but so would the Saleens.

I think the Chrome saleens look perfect, but I only like the Saleen side scoops with the entire Saleen kit...

I think it looks pretty good, but I also would like to see if with some FR's. You need some headlights

I think it looks good. I think some FR500s might look a little better though. Have you considered anything in black? Also, headlight repair wouldnt be a bad idea. Best way I have found is using very fine grit sandpaper (wet sand of course) then use a mothers mini power ball and some meguires plastix polisht to finish it off. Works perfect every time.

i dislike the saleen scoops. and if you went with FR's i dont think they look good as 17's so my vote is 18" anthricte FR's (although i might be a bit biased.


of the choices, i vote hypercoated saleens or antricite 18" fr's

I vote Silver Saleens (I've never looked back).

Forget the side scoops - they look ricey IMO, and your stock ones are fine (and paint = $$$). Get some clear corner headlights instead. Those amber corner markers look crappy. I was so happy when I ditched em!



Oh.. and a shorty antenna.
