I also got the GT500 tires and wheels....

Nice!

I'd add a body colour-matched and striped chin spoiler. After confirming that you really like it, I'd take it back and have the stickers pulled off and the stripes painted and the car re-cleared.

Great combo!
I agree that you should save up and have them painted on as it will look so much nicer and should last a lot longer as well
I had vinyl rocker stripes and liked the way they looked and was going to have them painted on, but I've since switched designs, but those ARE getting painted on as we speak

If it wasn't for the Roush wing, that car would be perfect!

Thanks Darkfire!

Since that pic I painted the shorty antenna flat black, added Scott Drake billet hood pins, and Street Scene centre fog black chrome upper and lower grilles. I think I'm done with the exterior now. I have a very long list of other mods currently underway though.

If winter would ever end here I'll get some new pics.
