Ok so I am going to send my car to get a fresh factory black paint job. (it is currently black, so I would like to keep it that way).

Should I keep the stock 16" pony wheels that I have on it right now, or step up to some chrome 17" wheels? It will eventually be lowered w/the eibach pro-kit.

Should I fill the embossed letters on the side skirts and bumper that say "mustang gt" w/silver inserts or leave them black?

Last, I am between three hoods for my stang. They are shown below, which do you guys like best? Or should I just keep the stock hood?

Hood #3, black letters, and I would also do a Cobra grille and rear bumper. I would lose the pony wheels, and I think draglites would look good on this car, but if you're not going for the drag look, I'm not sure what I'd use that's not expensive and/or requires a 5 lug conversion.

I think they'd be nice if they didn't have those little flared out edges with the bolts at the outside end of the spokes. '03 Cobra wheels would be cool. Cobra R hoods like like crap on foxes imo.

I bought these rims, nice quality, came with the cobra center pieces, chrome lugs and an additional set of locking lugs. Not a bad price for mounted and balanced as well...
