Default Thoughts on a exterior look

So I was planning on kind of replicating the roush look on my 09 Pony, but after going through and doing final pricing I decided that was just way too much to drop on the parts.

So I have changed my mind on the exterior look and now i'm looking into going with the 3dcarbon 4pc Pony lipkit, Cervini 2.5" cowl hood, Roush 3pc spoiler, 20x8/20x10 KMC Nova wheels, Painted Mirror caps, Blackout trunk panel, chrome tail light trim, and a 8" shorty antenna.

Current look of the car.

Forget the chrome taillight trim. If you're going to get the blackout panel, you should look into black taillight trim, that ties the whole back end together nicely. Chrome looks bad to me, and chrome on silver is the worst. In the end it's your car and the rest of it sounds like it'll look great!

The car looks pretty sweet as it sits. Just needs those painted mirror caps ($80) and tint on the marker lights ($9).

Thanks, I just want it to not look like every other mustang out there if ya know what I mean. Although on the same hand I don't want it to look overdone and too gaudy either.
