Alrighty guys, so during the winter I have to switch out my current tires/wheels for some snow tires.
I purchased some stock 05 v6 rims, and I'll be mounting some Blizaks on them when the time comes.

I'm also thinking of switching up the entire color scheme of my car for the 4-6 months I'll have the tires on..
Was thinking of painting the stock rims satin black, the faux gas cap trunk lid thing satin black as well, (I bought a spare a week or so back),

then maybe going with some head/taillight tint, same with turn signals.
For the signals, I'd buy some clear ones (for summertime) and tint the OEM's. No prob there,
as for the headlights, Can I simply buy the plastic lens and switch them out? Or are the lights sealed to the lens..
is there a temporary tint I can use?

Also thinking about plasti-dipping the mustang emblem, and pillars on both sides of my grille.

What do you guys think about this setup?
Any suggestions/other improvements I could make?

Do you have any pics of your car to post? This may help visualize the mods you are stating above.
I have smoke tint on my turn signals, tail lights and a 3rd brake light "Mustang decal". I can take the tint off, if needed.

My car is the silver one. I'll also be adding Black fender hash decals in a couple weeks.




And here is what the rims I have will look like when painted. (Picture courtesy of Avalanch3)

Looks good! I am thinking about getting the 3" silver hash marks for my Stang.
I definitely think the smoke tint will look good on your silver Stang!

You have way too much time on your hands if you're only planning on keeping the looks for the winter.

The black may not stand up too well with the salt on the road, otherwise I would just paint the wheels and plan out how you want your car to look in the long run. I keep my car as is during winter except I throw on my winter wheels and tires.
